For many, many Australians, there is no more relevant and important definition of this ‘eighth wonder of the world’ than their Superannuation. Today, the average life expectancy for both men and women in Australia is over 80. This means that for a 40-year old in Australia today, they can generally expect to be contributing to their Super for the next 20 to 25 years, and then will be reliant on the earnings they have accumulated in their super to potentially fund them for another 15 to 20+ years in retirement.

​

If the goal is to ensure your money does not expire before you do (hint… that’s a very common goal), then that equates to a minimum investment term of 40 years for today’s 40 year old.  

​

Using the Australian governments simple compound interest calculator below demonstrates that just a 2% difference in return on $100,000 invested over a 40-year period equates to over $1.33 million differential in earnings, meaning compound interest really is the eighth wonder of the world.
