Mary Holm seminar

7 ways to grow your wealth

What debt is bad debt, and how should you deal with it? Should you concentrate on paying down a mortgage or saving for retirement? How can you make the most of UniSaver? Financial author and columnist Mary Holm will help you answer those questions for your household. She'll also show you how to set up your investments and then relax and just watch them grow.
