Thinking about, if you mapped it out, you had a blank piece of paper with your family and said to all the different generations, let's talk about what we think this world would look like and what this country would look like 5, 10, 20, 50 years from now.
And where will you be those different age groups?
You know, what will you look, 20, 40, how old will you be?
What do you imagine you'll be doing?
How much worth, how much super will you have put aside or how much savings do you imagine?
You know, I think there are some initiatives around putting more money into bank accounts of 18-year-olds and to sort of KiwiSaver and things to try to start preparing for that.
You know, you look at the money that an Australian will have in their super when they retire versus what we have.
They got there much earlier.
They obviously, you know, 12% is a big chunk of money that goes in.
And it's, you know, on top of salaries normally.
It's not just a, you know, it's a big differential.
Yeah.
We have a weaker currency, a smaller amount of people, you know, and we started later.
So, you know, you can start to see we are pretty late to the party to start planning.
And it's so interesting that as I get older, I start thinking about these things a lot more because I look around with my peers and start thinking about what are you really thinking it will look like if you retired at 65, let's just say you were lucky enough, and you live to be 90.
That's a long time to live with no money.
And, you know, I don't imagine it's going to be a super when I get there.
Like I certainly don't imagine I'm going to be getting like my, you know, I have a father who's unfortunately in a dementia ward and he spent his whole life working so he could retire and go and have a good life and then found himself at the day he sort of retired at 70 with quite profound dementia.
And so he's in full-time care and his money now goes to care.
And I keep thinking, this is all wrong.
