Grant Hackett is a household name to those of us old enough to remember and relive the highlights of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.  Grant won gold in the 1500m swim there and in Athens in 2004.  Grant did some broadcast work later but ended up pursuing this passion in finance and is now CEO of Generation Life, a Melbourne based investment company.  Today we discuss tax aware investing, and what that means to people of any age really, and we delve into achieving goals and life's aspirations for a comfortable retirement.  Grant's view of simplicity being the key and being "tax aware" is vitally important, and "yes" - we agree!
