Consistent with most developed nations, Australia provides incentives for people to save for their retirement. Being self-sufficient in retirement reduces the need for A ge pensions and other forms of Social Security. But saving for your retirement means sacrificing the here and now. Money socked away for your 70s and 80s, is money that you can't enjoy in your 20s and 30s. The opportunity cost is real , so the incentives need to be meaningful.

This week I want to ensure that you understand exactly where the greatest opportunity exists so that you are making the most of the superannuation tax concessions .
