Mortgage, Investing or Super: What Should You Focus on in Your 30s, 40s & 50s?

Mortgage, Investing or Super: What Should You Focus on in Your 30s, 40s & 50s?30 Aug7 min

Do you keep smashing the mortgage, invest more, or start putting more into super?

Even if something was right for you 10 years ago, it might not be right today. When it comes to building wealth, your priorities need to change as your life does. What makes perfect sense in your 30s can start holding you back in your 40s. And by your 50s, the bigger question may no longer be how much you can accumulate, but whether everything you've built is actually getting you closer to the life you want.

In this episode, Paul breaks down how your financial focus can change through each stage of life, and where the biggest shifts tend to happen. It's less about hitting arbitrary milestones by a certain birthday and more about knowing when it may be time to change tack.

Inside this episode:

When paying down the mortgage should be front and centre, and when it may be time to widen the strategy

Why your 40s can be such an important window for turning higher income and home equity into future options

The point where investing more seriously can start to matter

Why working out what you want your 50s and 60s to look like can completely change what you do with money today

When super may deserve more attention, including the opportunities that can open up later in your working life

Why the financial goal eventually shifts from building the biggest pile possible to actually using it
