Life Stages
The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.
Getting your super started
It is never too early to start saving for your retirement. The earlier you start contributing to super the more you will accumulate, which means less stress in those pre-retirement years. By taking control of your super from the beginning of your working life, you can boost your balance and make your money work harder for you over a longer period of time. This could help you live a more comfortable life when its time to retire.
Build up your dollars
One way to help build your super dollars is by sticking with the same fund when you change employer. That's because the more super accounts you have, the higher fees you may pay, eating away at your savings.
On the move?
You can keep your superannuation account regardless of how many times you change employers. Your new employer can still contribute to your existing account if they are a participating employer, and if not, they can easily join.
Super is an investment in your future
Having a good amount of super savings will supplement your age pension income in retirement and will help pay for the extras that make life enjoyable. It will also help maintain the lifestyle you are used to when there is no longer a pay cheque coming in.
