Are you wasting 11% of your salary? | Vanguard Super Retirement Series

Equity Mates Investing Podcast

According to a Vanguard study, 1 in 2 working-age Australians have either not made contact in the last 12 months or indeed never made contact at all with their superannuation (this includes just visiting the fund’s website!). This is a big problem, given how important it is to engage with your super as early as possible.

In this episode we break down the reasons why you should not be ignoring your super.

In today’s episode we cover:

• Why super is more than a financial product; it’s a means to achieve choice and comfort in retirement
• The substantial tax advantages of super
• How too many Aussies aren’t engaged with their super and what you can do to change it
• Why super is the foundation of retirement, and the income required to live comfortably
