Managing your own personal superannuation
Friday June 27, 2008
Personal superannuation management has become quite popular lately, but it may not be suited to every lifestyle. For instance, if you have very little personal time due to your work life but earn a substantial amount of money, then you could be better off just using a reliable super fund for decent returns on your personal superannuation. If it's a choice between using all of your precious little free time at the cost of higher super fund fees, or having to spend that times managing your super for possibly higher returns without fees, then the saving of time could be preferable.
One helpful way of deciding how much effort and money you should put into your personal superannuation is to decide on a goal for your personal superannuation to reach by retirement. You will then need to keep track of your progress towards it and how much you can reasonably expect to make from just working. If you find that you are already on track to this amount, then saving time may be a better option than making a little more money if it will not result in a higher standard of retirement lifestyle.
