Every time I talk about the age pension, someone pipes up on social media and tells me that it won’t be there by the time they retire. Clearly they aren’t reading the same papers I am. Usually this is someone in their 40s or 50s who’s spent most of their working life being told that our population is ageing and there won’t be enough taxpayers to fund everyone as we get older.

Have you ever been at a weekend barbecue listening to Robert in the corner tell you about how he really could retire now, at 54, and head off caravanning around the country.

But has anyone actually taught you what to do with it when you retire? And does the thought of having to make that money last for the rest of your life make you nervous? You’re not alone.

It sounds like a reasonably straightforward question – until you actually try to answer it. Is it when your super hits $500,000 or $1 million? Maybe it’s $2 million?
