About this episode:

Find out why taking control of your super could be a game-changer if you’re looking for true financial independence…

In this episode Adam Gibson interviews accountant Chris Jahn, who is an expert in superannuation and managing your own retirement fund (aka SMSFs). 

Chris opened up about how he woke up to some big, global agendas and the way the financial system is really rigged in favor of the big guys—think BlackRock, Vanguard, and the usual suspects.

The takeaway? If you want real control over your future, you’ve got to take the reins yourself. And for Aussies, that means looking seriously at an SMSF.

Here’s what they covered:

1. Taking Control: With an SMSF, you’re in the driver’s seat. It’s all about you managing your retirement savings instead of letting some faceless corporate entity decide where your money goes.

2. Staying Awake: Knowing the bigger picture—how the financial system works and who’s really pulling the strings—is key. The more you know, the better choices you can make.

3. Alternative Assets: Forget just sticking with stocks and shares. They talked about investing in things like gold, silver, agricultural land and even crypto. These are the kinds of assets that can provide real stability when the markets get shaky.

4. The Fine Print: Yes, there are rules and costs to setting up and managing an SMSF, but it’s manageable if you have the right people on your side. Finding a community or a savvy advisor who’s on the same page as you can make all the difference.

5. The Importance of Like Minded Advisors: Having an advisor who gets what’s really going on and isn’t just towing the corporate line is a game-changer. They’ll help you align your investments with your values and goals.

6. Self-Custody: Chris stressed how important it is now, more than ever, to keep your assets in your own hands. This trend is growing because people want to safeguard their wealth independently.

7. Preparing for What’s Ahead: They both agree—there’s a financial storm brewing. Taking action now, like setting up an SMSF, is all about being prepared and ensuring your financial security, no matter what comes next.

8. Shifting the Power Back: It’s about empowering yourself. When you manage your own finances, you’re not just another cog in the corporate machine. You’re taking back control and building something that’s truly yours.

The bottom line? If you’re serious about real freedom and security, looking into an SMSF could be the first step toward financial independence—and away from corporate control.
