Why $50k is the ultimate sleep-at-night number for these home owners (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Record household wealth has not saved Australian families from a cash-flow crunch: 27 per cent say they could not raise $4000 in an emergency within a week, according to the latest University of Melbourne’s Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey.

Read excerpt
It’s one thing to be dreaming of a lavish retirement, and perhaps you even have a figure in mind as to how much superannuation you’ll need.

When investment markets experienced a wobble in February, the last thing early retiree Kathleen McDowell, 57, and her husband, who retired in December last year aged 59, wanted to do was sell any of their investments. McDowell, who retired at 55, says the couple had prepared for such a market downturn by keeping enough money to cover 2½ years of living expenses – about $350,000 – quarantined in cash and out of reach of market volatility.
