My son Uni degree he still paying HEX $ 50,000. State schools cost average $ 1,000, but we all contributing to overseas holidays or new SUV of 50% of new retirees, who after the purchase go straight to age pension.
It is not 25 years , even after 50 years 40% of people shouldn't be in the super and probably got direct age pension without the burden of trustees and advisers. Just simple pay tax as they go.
1997:
80 per cent on the Age Pension or equivalent, 67 per cent of those on the full Age Pension
2017:
70 per cent on the Age Pension, 60 per cent of those on the full Age Pension
2055:
60 per cent on the Age Pension, only 40 per cent of those on the full Age Pension

The pension card and allowances are one thing most retirees don't want to lose. This part of the ASFA report is very believable:
"Over the next 40 years, this proportion will flip to 60 per cent part Age Pension and 40 per cent full Age Pension. "
