Outcomes and Opportunities: Shani's top articles from October
Morningstar’s Senior Investment Specialist helps investors tighten up their financial health.
This month, I wrote an article on whether money buys happiness. I concluded that it does, but blindly chasing more money is a pretty good way to be a poor investor.
There are many Australians that are not in the position to invest. However, there are changes they can make to the way that they structure their finances, their existing investments (including super) and their budgets to create more comfortable lives for themselves.
Some of my articles this month focused on these changes that all of us can benefit from and the decisions that may lead to better individual outcomes. Other articles focused on current opportunities.
