Transcript

Meet Justine. Justine is 45 and happily single, with no plans to partner in the future. She’s self-employed, earning $140,000 per year, but she only has a relatively small super balance of $100,000. This is money that accumulated when she was younger and working in a traditional job, and she hasn’t contributed to super for many years since she’s been self-employed. She is on track to own her own home by age 60, and she also has $60,000 invested in an exchange-traded fund that she’s planning to use towards her retirement.
