    Ub, let's face it:

    THERE IS NO RETIREMENT FUTURE FOR ANYONE UNDER 40.

    The retirement and super access ages are being progressively lifted as successive governments discover they cannot pay for everyone's retirement.

    > Not enough savings, inc super.
    > Too many old people getting ready to retire.

    I am in my twenties. People my age are screwed. By the time I am ready to retire, superannuation will have been 'nationalised' to pay for everyone else's retirement and healthcare.

    There are three ways this shortfall can be funded:
    - raise taxes (businesses and the rich go offshore);
    - cut benefits (this will happen to some extent); and
    - nationalise super and redistribute (this will definitely happen).

    Anyone under 40 will never see a cent of their super.
