1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Massi University gives it these numbers every year and they're

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: quite interesting. This tells you how much you might need

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: in retirement. And if you're living in a city, you've

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: got two people at home and you want to live

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: comfortably in your retirement, you're going to need a million bucks.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: That's what they're telling you. If you're in the provinces,

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: half that. Now you can start working backwards and you're

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: probably doing it in your head right now in terms

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: of your net worth. Depending on your age, you may

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: also need to think about the fact you can't rely

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: on the pension. You know, some government eventually will means

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: test it, they'll change the age, they'll cut it back.

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: It's inevitable that that will happen. So there's a shortfall

14
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: you're probably going to have to fill. And you're thinking

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: about this now, can we say the contributions they're going

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: to need to go up? They are slightly from three

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: to four percent, but realistically we'll need to bump them

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: up to probably ten. I think the Aussies are eleven

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: or twelve by now, and I know people are doing this.

20
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: I've got friends who are in their thirties who are

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: planning meticulously planning already for their retirement, saving, investing all

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: of that good stuff. People are working slogging their guts

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: out and working hard, just being responsible, making sure they

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: can take care of themselves and their families when they

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: get to age of retirement. Which is why to me,

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: it's smacks of entitlement that politicians live in a different

27
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: world to us on superannuation, totally different world. They get

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: a super subsidy two and a half times the percent

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: they contribute, up to a maximum of twenty percent. A backbencher,

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: they're on one hundred and seventy k twenty percent of

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: that could be about thirty four thousand dollars a year. Nice, right,

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: We get dollar for dollar from our employers up to

33
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: what three percent. The argument is their jobs aren't secure,

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: so they need more security. You know, you have an

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: election that comes every three years and there's a chance

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: that they'll be turfed out, So this is some security

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: for them. Well, they aren't the only ones in that situation,

38
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: are they? But they are the only ones I know

39
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: of who get a retirement ESTI quite that big and
