    We both have defined benefit superannuation schemes. Mine won't be as good due to part time and time off but my husbands will be great and we still have 20 years of working left. I am a bit over property investing and looking at selling up and moving to shares. Our current PPOR is an IP as we are living overseas. Given the amount of effort and extra cost to invest in property would we better just moving everything into shares?

    Possibly... I want you to know what you are doing with the stockmarket first though!
    For starters, like I've been educated...
    1. Buy for dividends
    2. Don't buy resources or property trusts
    3. On a downturn, buy more.... Keep accumulating
    Go through all the threads....

    My opinion only.

    I think it's good to have both. I agree that PI can have its challenges but so can shares, believe me! The ability to see the (sometimes major) fluctuations in equity can have unintended psychological consequences :)
