No doubt difficult to be an ambo at 67, and probably more difficult being a labourer at 67.wazza wrote:My Financial Planner, advised me a few years ago ( when I hit 55 ) to roll my super over into an annuity and take the minimum 4% per year off the top. That way the Cvnts cant change the rules on me, they already pushed it out from 50 to 55 and watch this space....ronan01 wrote:I have to wait till 67 also.

It is not a coincidence that the a..ewipes in Canberra have pushed my pension age out to 67, thereby forcing me and others to delve in and use up your super, when we had been programmed and planned way back to end the work life at 65.
There is not a stiff backbone amongst the whole lot.
They have certainly ensured the trough is full when they retire.
As a former Intensive Care Flight Paramedic, I feel sorry for the working population who have to work those extra 2 years. from 65 to 67 . On the Road as an ambo at 67, no thanks
Super was to be a safe and secure investment for retirement, but after the recent raid it is neither:
"Turnbull talks incessantly about his plan for a strong new economy and “jobs and growth” but that boils down to a company tax cut in 10 years’ time paid for by retrospective superannuation changes now…"

They have changed the rules now and will do it again - so confidence in the system is shattered.
