• Are you spending your super ALL wrong?

  If you don't want to be one of those leaving super behind, have a listen to Joey Moloney, who is the Deputy Program Director of Grattan Institute's Housing and Economic Security program and I discuss... This conversation started as a back and forth debate in the papers, after Grattan’s report which points out something we all agree on – that Australia’s retirement system is too complex for retirees to navigate and that leaves retirees stressed and lacking the confidence to spend their retirement savings. That combined with the reality that many are leaving significant super balances when they die rather than spend it on living.
