Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired live on Friday 18 April 2025. The topic for this week is: Misconceptions around super contributions and how to bolster your balance. In this episode our own Financial Planner Luke Smith takes look at the complex world of super contributions. All working Australians would agree super is an important retirement savings vehicle but the complexity of the system sometimes mean people don’t make the most of their opportunities across their working lives. Rod Henshaw joins Luke this week as Leon enjoys an early Easter break.
