Some good numbers

September 29, 2008 11:53 am by Dean Morel

Rather the wallow in the demise, woops I mean temporary stumble, of the US I thought it may be good to focus on some good numbers for a change. Fortunately I need look no further than my backyard and a topic dear to my heart, Australian superannuation (retirement) funds.

  • 1st the place Australians hold in comparison to the rest of the world in our readiness for retirement due to our superannuation system.
  • ONE TRILLION approximately how much money Australians have in super [retirement] funds.
  • 10 MILLION the number of Australian workers
  • $21,700 the amount by which the wealth of the average Australian has jumped in the last 12 months.

All figures from on the spot magazine from Sun Super, here is an old issue.
