Prime Time with Bec Wilson

The 2026 Federal Budget just fundamentally changed the way middle Australians build wealth, effectively tearing up the investment playbook we’ve followed for decades. I’m joined by David Lane, Senior Financial Adviser at Ord Minnett, to unpack exactly how these new tax rules on property and capital gains will hit your retirement plans and what you need to do right now to protect your future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we're talking about the very real problem of subscription creep. It's when all those apps, streaming services and memberships start to add up and get out of control. I chat to Matt Bowen, head of consumer and market insights at ING Australia, to talk about the huge price tag of Australia's subscription addiction, and what you can do about it. I'll also check in with Kate Rolfe from Aware Super to talk about another job we avoid doing... opening our super statements.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the latest edition of our Prime Time book club I sit down with acclaimed finance guru Chris Kohler to chat about his new book ‘How They Get You’ and all the secret ways you’re convinced to part with your cash, and what you can do about it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most people spend decades building wealth, but retirement flips all of that on its head. Suddenly, you're not earning an income, you're managing one. This week, Xavier O'Halloran from Super Consumers Australia and Kate Rolfe from Aware Super get into the real mechanics of retirement income, including the layers, the phases, the numbers behind the benchmarks, and the mistakes that catch even well-prepared people off guard. Thanks to Aware Super - visit aware.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We spend so much time obsessing over our super, property and portfolios, but we often ignore our most valuable asset: our ability to earn. Think of your career not just as a job, but as an asset that requires constant reinvestment. Too many people with big, successful careers are getting caught off guard by restructures or market shifts, sometimes finding themselves unemployed and underprepared for a digital-first job market. So, how do you bulletproof your employability? In this episode, I chat to Jannine Fraser, who works right at the coalface, helping people navigate career transitions when things go wrong - and how to prepare yourself in case they do. She's the managing director of outplacement firm Directioneering, so it's her job to help people pick up the pieces and re-shape their future. We cover: - Why midlife is a high risk time for career stagnation- How to pivot before the market forces you to- Practical steps to stay relevant, ready & employableSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've ever felt unsure whether financial advice was really built for someone like you, this episode will help you understand the landscape and hopefully feel more confident navigating it.  I chat to Paul Feeney, founder and CEO of Otivo and someone who has spent years inside the advice industry. It’s a refreshingly honest take on where it works, where it falls short, and what everyday Australians can do about it. The reality is that quality personalised advice has historically been more accessible to people with significant assets, leaving many everyday Australians without affordable guidance at the very moment they need it most. We dig into the real difference between information, guidance and advice, because these words get thrown around a lot and they don't mean the same thing. Information educates, guidance helps, and regulated advice is personalised to your exact situation. We also explore the use of AI for advice. These tools are genuinely useful for exploring ideas, stress-testing thinking and preparing smart questions before you see an adviser or call your super fund.

The conflict in the Middle East has disrupted airspace across one of the world’s biggest travel hubs, leaving many Australians wondering whether they should cancel their upcoming trips.  In this urgent episode, I speak with travel expert Fiona Dalton to unpack what’s actually happening with global travel right now, who is affected, and what travellers should do before making any big decisions. Fiona explains why the disruption is largely centred around Middle Eastern transit hubs such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, what options travellers have if their flights are impacted, and why cancelling too early could actually leave you worse off financially. The key message: stay calm, stay connected to your airline, and don’t rush into cancelling your trip but make sure you understand your options.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the past year, I've watched a surge of social media ads urging people to review and switch their super often with urgent language suggesting you're losing money every day you delay.
