    If you want to buy a unit in an over 50s block you will still pay close to a million for it anyway (Increase 750% app)

    A million dollars in 1974 terms was about $21 000 ( For a house)

    Aged pension now $450 / wk ( 115% increase App)

    So IMHO we are on the cusp of technical hyperinflation but already experiencing it

    BUT there are a multitude of pensions and in general the aged are the only ones who have, for a lifetime contributed towards what they get in a pension which is too low for many
