There’s a lot of noise right now about using your superannuation to help buy your first home. And on the surface? It sounds pretty good. But in this episode, I break down show you exactly what happened when New Zealand tried this approach—and why it ended up hurting the very people it was meant to help.

We’ll talk about rising prices, the impact on long-term wealth, and why this policy could affect everyone with super—not just first-time buyers. If you're thinking “but it’s my money, why not use it?”, this episode will make you think twice.
