It's one of those out of sight, out of mind things, but the truth is that superannuation is the nest egg from which we live in retirement. A comfortable retirement starts with choosing the right superannuation provider. Then you set an investment strategy that meets your long-term needs. From there, you can have a significant impact on your future lifestyle by contributing more than the automatic deductions.

Many of us will happily leave worrying about our nest egg to the last minute, close to retirement. We assume that the default fund chosen by our employer and automatic deductions are adequate. This isn't a smart move. You should be focusing on super from the day you start working.

Making those key decisions about your super today will allow you to enjoy a comfortable retirement. Talk to a AusPrac Super Wealth Manager (financial adviser) to start retirement planning and take control of your superannuation so that you can retire in style.
