Why invest
For many years, we believed that having an employer contribute to our superannuation account over our working career would enable us to retire at 55 with enough reserves to last throughout retirement.
Now we understand that most people’s super funds don’t go as far as we once thought. Many people had had to continue working past their planned retirement age simply because they couldn’t afford to do otherwise.
Most prudent people have realised that relying on superannuation and Government payments is not the solution. Instead we need to accumulate a portfolio of investments that will provide an additional source of income to cater for the ‘golden years’ that so many of us look forward to.
