The best gift I could think of is to help my adult children's super balance. Instead of leaving them an inheritance many years later, I could add an extra 15k to their super fund each year. They have time on their side and that would grow to a much bigger amount than what I could ever imagine.

I think some of the best advice would be while you are young, 18-24, do a super co-contribution of $1,000 (after tax) and the government will add $500 at tax time. Just make sure your super fund has you TFN. Or if possible, do it for your kids since you earn more.

Hi John, the data is only about the median average of Super Balance, any investment outside Super fund was not counted.

Super needs to be taught in schools from an early age, start in simple and work it to more complicated learnings as they go through school. I'm good with a just over 7 figure super, 300k in shares and a beach holiday house and no debit. I started my own super when I was 17, just before the last ice age.

This isn’t a good strategy anymore as we have 1 Trillion Usd of debt every quarter and with compounding , your money is worthless in 40 years as a 24 year old (me). 1 million bucks will be sub 100k, or even 50k usd. Or maybe we’ll have deflation and services/goods will be cheaper as technology becomes better. Who knows.

All these figures apply to right now, definitely. But in 10, 20 years, they are going to substantially higher - especially if the rate of inflation and the cost of living continues to spiral beyond record levels.

Super employee guarantee moved to 9% in 2002, so really only people under 42 will have what I would describe as the opportunity to have a full working life with guaranteed adequate super contributions. Considering this, it is of no surprise that those older than 42 will be falling significantly short of the recommended Super by age benchmarks. (Note - I dont consider the 3% from 1992 to 2002 to be a adequate. Its was better than nothing but falls significantly short by todays standard)

It seems to me that a thirty year old will retire in 35 years and the amount required will be vastly more due to inflation, you need to take into account the future amount to retire, not todays amount, that only applies to 67 year olds
@evlaw19885 ай бұрын
Is your balance for a 35yr old couple ($101,500) to achieve a comfortable retirement based on each individual, therefore a combined balance of $203k?
@IreneZhu5 ай бұрын
It is the figure for both couples and singles depending on the household income, you can plug your figures into this calaculator moneysmart.gov.au/how-super-works/superannuation-calculator
@SpookFilthy3 ай бұрын
The figures reported are for individuals (comparing balance to individual target at each age group) so if you're a couple and you combine your balances your target is relatively less (due to shared costs etc).
@bradnm4954 ай бұрын
These figures ($595/$690) have not changed since 2014. Now think of how much inflation there has been in the last 10 years. These numbers need to be updated. Realistically you need double that, ($1.2/$1.4).
@SpookFilthy3 ай бұрын
not correct - the numbers are adjusted using an AWE (average weekly earnings) deflator of 2.75%. You could argue this is not enough but the numbers are adjusted. The biggest assumption in the figures is that you have no debt and own your home.

Hi Irene zhu I came accross to your video while searching some info regarding super. My wife is housewife , can i open up her super account ? If yes can you explain more how should we manage it . I can easily contribute $300-400 a month or $100/week Thanks im Advance
@IreneZhu3 ай бұрын
Hello, your wife can open a Super account even she's not working. However you'll need to evaluate if this is an optimal way in terms of tax saving. Does making after-tax contribution have the same effect on opening investment bank account outside of Super?
