Australia has always been known as the lucky country, these days we can’t even rely on our super! I was sent this video this morning by a current client and it really made me think twice… It’s a detailed video by 60 minutes on why Australians need to stop relying on their super to help them retire…
Watch it NOW>>>
I was shocked and horrified that hard working Australians wouldn’t be able to afford to rely on their hard earned super in their retirement…
Just stunned really…
If you didn’t watch the video, here are some of the heart breaking truths it touches on…
1/8 Australians are working past the age of 65! Some price to pay for working your butt off your whole life!
The average pensioner only receives $20,600 for an individual or $32,000 as a couple per year year? Which is below the poverty line!
The government is currently looking at passing a law to restrict how much you can have in your superannuation account at any one time…
In a nut shell, they are forcing us to have to think very keenly about the way we save for our retirement and most of us wont retire with more than $200,000 in our superannuation… (Which is in really only 8 years worth of funds to live on if you’re living VERY conservatively).
So what can you do?
Can you imagine having to start a cleaning business at age 65+ just to make ends meet? That’s back breaking work at the best of times.
There really is only one realistic answer…
Most Australians need a plan B!
And that plan B needs to be building passive income through investments or through business.
If you’re serious about retiring with more than 8 years worth of funds to live on in your super account, then I implore you to check out refunding as a serious option to you. Not only can you set it up to continue to operate even after you’ve retired… but it’s even more importantly…
Non-back breaking, home based, FEEL GOOD work!
