2. Get your salary packaging right
Take advantage of the strategies that best suit you. After your WealthStart journey has begun work out what strategies work best for you and your long-term goals.
3. Invest early
The art of compounding is a wonderful thing. Investing early is a fantastic way to get ahead in the future. Understanding your investment options is something we can always help with.
4. Structure your loan for flexibility

6. Kick- start your Superannuation
Know how your super is invested and take interest now. It may seem like a lifetime away, but it’s important to understand how your super is accumulating and choosing the right super fund is just the first step.
