    Thinking about retirement? you may have to think again.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Very true,...agree 1000%
    Aussies think the pension will be there to provide for ALL their retirement needs,..... it will not.
    ALL Aussies should start to think about what they would like their retirement to be like MUCH earlier than they currently do, and what THEY personally need to do to ensure an adequate retiremen income.

    It’s the age old problem - live for today or save for tomorrow... I wish that I had the magic formula! Other than winning Tatts....

    Buy a chainsaw. Carcking it is highly overrated.

    What the article fails to recognise is the flip side. The pension publicly recognises the contribution that we make to our society over our working years. It should not be seen as some kind of illegitimately gained prize, but rather the measure of a caring and humane society. Superranuation augments that and actually significantly reduces the cost of retirement for what is now almost purely a growth capitalist society wholly reliant on the workers' lives it exploits. The elders of a society should be highly valued for their wisdom and lifetime contribution to the whole, not as mice on the wheel to eke out to their last working breath.
