"91% of this population [Australia] are not going to have enough superannuation to live on when they retire. There's a high percentage of people who are going to run out of money five to seven years after they retire, because here's what they don't understand about superannuation: You can't control the stock market. You can't control economies. You can't control the companies in the stock market, and you can't control world events.

Have a look at what happened when Trump introduced the trade tariffs—the market dropped 20–30%. You had the GFC drop 30–40%. You had the buildings getting hit in 2001 and the market dropped 40% overnight. I mean, there's no control as an individual. You can't control your money that's in a superannuation fund because it's predominantly in the stock market."

Sad reality 😢

That's why you go with an industry superfund that has a decent code of ethics to follow.

Don't just give your money to some American stock market investment firm to gamble with and keep the profits for themselves or leave you with nothing if their gambles don't pay off.

All my super was stolen by employers, my people my age don't even have any super because employers never paid into it, my generation are lucky to even find the kind of long term full time employment that actually pays into your super anyway.

Pull it out, take the penalties for doing so and buy #Bitcoin………..
