A shifting sweet spot
Constant changes to people’s super are mak-
ing retirement planning impossible or at least
stressful for many. So this year the sweet
spot may be $275,000, but what if next year
it becomes $350,000 or $500,000?
Average people who have been working
and saving for 30-plus years aren’t able to
make rapid corrections to their long-term
super in these sorts of time frames. Again the
middle income workers are getting screwed.
