It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for highlighting the benefits of compound interest and the need to stay in the workforce.
I feel that I have been struggling to get people to understand that for men and women to each have an equal period in retirement (say 15 years) then a woman should retire at an age 2 years older than a man, using her longevity advantage to make up for any earlier years when she has not worked.
Those extra years of contributions and compound interest (on her higher pre-retirement balance) will compensate her, allowing each gender to use their similar super over a comparable retirement period.
