Putting money into super is great from a tax perspective but comes with one big downside- you can’t access it until after 60 (with some exclusions/conditions applying).
When you are in your 20s, this downside is a big deal.
You should be putting money into super but committing all of your money to super? Seems a bit crazy.
But there is a point where this starts to change.
Usually if my clients are in their late 40s or early 50s, we start asking the question “should we be only investing in super?”.
If your intention is to not access your money until after 60 anyway, then paying extra tax just so you can have access earlier doesn’t make a lot of sense.
If you’re hitting this age and are wondering how best to restructure your investing to reduce your tax, then please reach out.
We work with people all over Australia and would love to hear from you.
