How to Invest for Your Kids in Australia: A Financial Advisor’s Guide for Mums

What's the best thing you can do for your child's financial future and when should you start? 

Briony Benjamin is back as guest host of Get Rich while Molly is on maternity leave, and this week she's tackling a topic close to her own heart as a mum of two! Briony sits down with financial advisor and investing expert Daisy Magor to break down everything Australian parents need to know about how to invest for their kids, no jargon, no complicated finance-speak, just clear and practical advice for mums who want to give their children a financial head start.

Whether you've been putting off investing for your children in Australia because you're not sure where to start, think you need more money to begin, or you're worried about getting the tax side of things wrong, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why starting small and early makes a bigger difference than you think
• What $100 a month from birth could actually grow to by the time your child turns 18
• The main ways to invest for your kids in Australia and which one might suit you best
• Whether you should pay off debt first or invest at the same time
• What an ETF is and why it's one of the simplest investment options for Australian parents
• The difference between investing in your name versus your child's name (and why it matters at tax time)
• What investment bonds and education bonds are and when they make sense
• The minor tax rates that catch Australian parents off guard
• How ethical investing works inside an ETF
• What grandparents and relatives need to know about gifting money to kids in Australia

Perfect for: Australian mums with young kids, anyone wanting to invest on behalf of their children, and women who want to make their money work harder for the next generation.
