Money magazine 3 mins read

November’s Money magazine leads with the big question: where to put $10,000? We use this as a measure to take the temperature of a range of investment options.

We also feature Matilda’s gold-star goalie Mackenzie Arnold talking about her fitness and finance journey, and look into the impact of vanishing bank branches in regional Australia. Pick up your copy of the November issue of Money, out now.
