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.
