Watch this first — it is the short version of what the evening covers.
The old plan was simple. Earn well, save hard, buy a house, and let superannuation do the rest. It worked for a generation, and for many Australians it has quietly stopped working.
Two forces broke it. White-collar income is being compressed by automation, while asset prices keep climbing faster than wages. The result is a familiar and uncomfortable feeling: doing everything right, and still not getting ahead.
Which leaves two options. Carry on with the old plan and hope there is enough left in it. Or spend one evening on what the new economy actually rewards, and prepare for the next few years on purpose.
Plain English, no jargon, and no prior experience assumed. Doors open at 6:45pm for a 7:00pm start, and there is free parking on site.
What the evening covers
- What changed — why earning well no longer builds wealth the way it once did
- Where money has been moving: currency, precious metals and digital assets
- The superannuation question most people have never thought to ask
- Open questions from the floor, and the chance to talk one-to-one afterwards
