Grow your super

How can you help your super to thrive?

Have you thought about the type of lifestyle you want in retirement?

It’s probably not something that crosses your mind every day, but small changes you make now can have a huge impact in future. That’s why we’re partnering with Money to launch Super Booster Day and make it easier for you to contribute a little extra to your super.

In order to have a ‘comfortable’ retirement, single people will need $545,000 in retirement savings, and couples will need $640,000 (according to the ASFA Retirement Standard).

 

Grow your super!

Super Booster Day encourages you to pledge to make extra contributions to your super. Even small amounts set aside can make a huge difference over the long term. For example, if you’re 30, preparing an extra meal at home each month* could increase your future wealth by $38,796. Super Booster Day is 15 September every year. So, pay yourself forward!
