What happens if I become ineligible for FHSSS?

In this Friday episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, hosts Owen Rask and Gemma Mitchell dig into your money questions. This week we look at how to spot risks inside your super fund, what’s reasonable to expect from a financial adviser, how to think about market crashes without panicking, and what happens if you can no longer use your FHSS funds. Owen and Gemma cover: - Rask Core Membership has had a revamp!! - How REST offers 0 percent fees on some indexed options, how Macquarie’s True Index works, and what risks you should be aware of - Whether low-fee index options pose extra dangers given recent scams and what due diligence actually matters - What’s a fair turnaround time for financial advisers, why some are slow to action changes, and how to decide if your advice relationship is still serving you - How to talk to family who fear another GFC wiping out their wealth and how long-term investing really behaves in deep downturns - What happens to your FHSS contributions if you become ineligible, and whether they simply stay in your super - The real meaning behind knowing “the cost of opening your front door” and why it matters for day-to-day financial confidence Plus, we need your help. We’re still pushing to get Owen to write a book. You can help us get there by joining our newsletter — we’re aiming for 3,000 new sign-ups in November.
