    I've said it before and I'll say it again, jbhifi solutions is pointless. The deals… Well they're not deals.

        Fair enough, but the deal is also for GG Commercial, making ot a good deal and not neg worthy

        Edit: after reading the comments below, GG commercial was added to the deal afterwards so I understand the initial neg

        • dbmitch on 04/12/2021 - 13:52

          its like REST realised just how awful JB was and then needed to add actual value to the offer later with GG

    • Nirmitha on 03/12/2021 - 16:18

      adding to that, REST is pointless. one of the worst performing supers lately.

      • 2023 on 04/12/2021 - 18:59

        I am currently with them (out of lazyness) but will be moving to Australian super quite soon.

    For anyone still with REST

    The SDA’s status as bargaining agent for retail workers entitles it to 50 percent representation on the board of the retail super fund, REST. It also gives the union the power to railroad retail workers into joining REST, despite the fact that it significantly underperforms when compared with union-backed superannuation funds.

        REST is performing above average, but it consistently falls short (and may have slightly higher fees) when compared to some other big funds like Australian Super.

        For anyone considering jumping ship, like I have been recently, the YourSuper comparison tool is a good start:

          Did you go to Australian Super? I've been procrastinating but I'm aiming at leaving ANZ for something better…

          • mboy on 03/12/2021 - 11:08

            @ShouldIBuyIt: Not yet. But it's something I've been planning to do for a couple of months now.
            Currently, leaning heavily towards Australian Super.

            @ShouldIBuyIt: AustralianSuper are good, but most of the Industry Funds are similarly good (Hostplus, CareSuper, etc)

            Just getting out of ANZ for a member-owned superfund will save you loads in fees, even before the performance benefits.

            @ShouldIBuyIt: I recently moved/ consolidated super funds via the myGov site.

            I consolidated a big4 type account into an industry fund

            It was remarkably easy. Literally just a few clicks which took seconds

            I am kicking myself for not doing it sooner

          My 16 year old just got a job at Coles and he had to sign up to a superannuation fund. Rest was chosen. I think I'll advise to stay there for a while and change after he starts to get a superannuation balance.

          Keep in mind that usually only refers to the default investment strategy (for REST it's their Core Strategy).
          They have other investment strategies that have lower fees and better returns if you're happy to customise it yourself.

          • heal on 03/12/2021 - 11:54

            @gamerkonks: What strategy should my son pick? His super balance is currently zero.

              @heal: High Growth - Maximise returns over the long-term by investing predominantly in growth assets.

              When you're young you want the growth; scale it back when you get old. I switched right before Covid; getting 23.17% return.

              @heal: At 16 it's unlikely your son has a grasp of the different investment strategies and the risks involved. I'd suggest staying on the Default/Balanced option for now. Give him another few years and encourage him to educate himself on the different strategies and go from there.

              Put simply: "A higher growth option will have higher risk and experience more volatile returns over the short term. But it will usually achieve higher returns over the long term. A conservative option will offer lower risk but lower returns over the long term"

                @mboy: If you're young, definitely pick the higest growth option on offer. You have time on your side to ride out any years of negative return.

              @heal: Because he has such a long time horizon (40+ years), I would set it to a mix of 80% International Shares - Indexed, and 20% Australian Shares - Indexed. These have $0 investment fees, and over the long term (10+ years) should perform the best (10+% pa. CAGR).

              When he gets closer to retirement, he'll want to switch to a more conservative strategy to reduce the volatility.

              You'll also want to check if there are an insurance policies on his account (Life, TPD, Income Protection) and consider if he needs them (i.e. does he have dependants, rely on his income to pay a mortgage, etc.) If not, these can really eat away at his balance when it is low and usually can be removed until such time as he needs it.

    I have had TGG commercial for a while now (through Union Shopper) but have never used it. Probably should have as I just bought a new oven… however I bought it in store you use 15% off home EFTPOS cards. Assuming you can't use these on the Commercial website or can you quote the commercial price in store and buy it normally at the lower price?

    Cheers for the advice in advance.
