Both above figures are pretty damn good for age, especially you Geffa to have that balance with lower salary. I just had a look at my balance, lower than I expected (albeit better than that table) but I've never made additional contributions.
Maybe I'll start salary sacrificing once the mortgage is fully paid but if you believe our politicians wont do something dodgy with super at any time over the next 30-40 years then you trust the pricks running this country into the ground a lot more than I do. I generally forget about superannuation, doesn't factor into my retirement plans at all. Anything in my account when I eventually retire will just be cream on top.
