Superannuation for people over
40
Superannuation 2020 is for people over 40 who want to
enjoy a dignified retirement.
People
like you who want to be able to
maintain their current lifestyle as long as they are
physically able.
Your
retirement is likely to be at least 25 years - more if you are
a woman.
But if you are relying on
the usual superannuation funding options to see you
through your old age, you are in for a big
disappointment.
Even with the most optimistic of forecasts,
your superannuation will run out BEFORE you do.
And that is before
factoring in things like the impact of oil prices and global
warming!
Some say the writing is on
the wall - 2008 is likely to be
the worst year for rates of return on superannuation funds
ever. (While this is disconcerting,
don't panic. Superannuation is a long term
investment.)
What is more worrying
though is that the Australian Institute of Superannuation
Trustees (AIST) found that more than 30% of Australians care
very little - if at all - about their superannuation
funds.
And another 52% know only a little about superannuation
funds!
This "zero care" situation reduces the
importance of superannuation at a political level.
When super does get adjusted so that it
is more than a "minimum wage", it is VERY likely that it will
be "too little, too late" for the vast majority of
Australians.
We want you to avoid being someone who waits
until there is too little too late - i.e. when you
can do nothing about it.
We want you to act now and at the very least
consider your financial future once you retire...
... to move beyond relying on government
superannuation with rules that keep on changing
... to provide you and your spouse with at
least some financial freedom in your old age.
We know you are probably aware of various
investment ideas to help you top up your superannuation.
But for your own sake, we ask that you take the
time to investigate what we believe is currently the best way
for you to set yourself up financially for your retirement
years.
Just looking at the menu options on this web
page it is obvious that we believe investing in residential
real estate in Brisbane is the way to go.
But we won't be swamping you with a bunch of
high pressure selling - we do not sell real estate :-)
Instead, if you let us, we will put you in
touch with someone who we trust to provide you with the right
advice.
Someone with a proven track record.
Someone with a quiet
integrity who also cares about you enjoying your
retirement.
