It's good to be back, Owen.
Today, we're going to be talking about superannuation and retirement.
Everyone's favorite topics.
Yes, it really gets the people going, this one. And you've written a, I guess, like a little how-to money guide on super for your website, howtomoney.online. And it's three reasons to start thinking about super in your 20s. Yeah. But it doesn't have to, as we'll get to in this episode, doesn't it? You don't have to be 20. You don't have to be 25.

I've got everything in one place and I know what fees I'm paying. Yeah. Even at the hairdresser the other day, the hairdresser definitely knew where her super was. So it's really interesting that it's becoming a more common topic to talk about. And I think that's fantastic.
Yeah. As you said in your write-up, it is your money. So you've got to start treating it like that. So that's just a simple, I guess...
