Superannuation allows you to save for your retirement years, today. Today is the best time - while you are still young and working. Tomorrow maybe too late.
Your superannuation fund works this way: money is set aside by your employer and/or you, specifically for your retirement needs. However, benefits prior to retirement can be availed of anytime in the event of sickness, accident and disability, including death.
The government supports superannuation programs through tax concessions and additional benefits which are government- funded. This makes superannuation the most viable investment you can take for the long-term.
