The sweet spot

There’s a magic number in superannuation that allows retirees to make the most of their own money and the Age Pension. It’s called the super sweet spot. This week on the Friends With Money podcast, Money's Tom Watson is joined by journalist Susan Hely to discuss how the sweet spot works.

  • Why should pre-retirees and retires know about it?
  • What is the sweet spot for singles and couples?
  • How does the taper trap work?
  • What are the benefits of the aged pension?
  • Is it still worth having a larger super balance?
