A sneak peek inside the episode:
"I think that when it comes to superannuation, I think some of the basic ones that can actually be really important is making certain that you understand the superannuation system and what it is, understanding how much you're supposed to be being paid by your employer if you are an employee, and checking regularly that you're being paid."
