you're likely spending a fortune on services you never use

the average gen z's subscription spend sits at $178/month, as a whopping half of all aussies fork out for subscription services they rarely use.

even though many of us planned to slash our digital overheads this year, the average gen z is now spending more on subscriptions than any other generation. while we tell ourselves these streaming services are non-negotiable, the reality is that 'subscription fatigue' is setting in. nearly half of all aussies have cancelled at least one service lately because they simply forgot they were even signed up to it.

this gap between what we want to spend and what actually leaves our accounts is costing some people over $1,600 a year. it's a reminder of how quickly small, automatic payments can add up to a significant chunk of your monthly budget without you noticing.

your super's missing out on owning a piece of australia's brand-new clean energy grid.

australia's top 30 super funds have invested a total of $771 million into local renewables since 2020, while canadian pension funds have bought into a whopping $1.2 billion worth.

while $99 billion has poured into australian wind, solar, and battery projects since 2020, our own super funds are barely touching it. despite holding $2.5 trillion of our collective savings, the 30 biggest funds have chipped in less than 1% of the total investment. only six major funds, including aware super and hesta, have made any direct moves at all.

this means the profits from australia's transition to clean energy are largely heading overseas to canada or staying with commercial banks. if your fund isn't at the table, your retirement savings aren't actually owning the infrastructure that will power the country by 2030.
