If you asked me what I enjoy most about Rotary, my answer would always be "the fellowship". But a close second would be "being surrounded by people who know more", experts in their chosen field of endeavour. Last Wednesday, our member Ashleigh Symes, who together with Charles Thomasson makes up our club's Wilsons Advisory Corporate Membership team, presented on Superannuation. A rather dry subject you might have thought. And the rainy weather provided a fitting background to "putting something away for a rainy day". Think again!
 
So you thought Super was simply a matter of your employer (or yourself, if you are self employed) compulsorily putting a fair whack of your income away, which you can't touch until you retire. Then, hopefully, you'll have enough money to buy food, pay for petrol, indulge in the odd dinner and a nice bottle of red, until you leave this mortal coil. Then, what's left of your Super will automatically, tax free, be inherited by your offspring... Hold it! Not so fast! You may be quite wrong. 
 
In short: you should have been there to get the full benefit of Ashleigh's seminar. But she has given me permission to upload her key points to our website - see Download Files on the right. Keep in mind, they are just key points. You might be well advised to seek the services of a professional. Such as Ashleigh at Wilsons Advisory.
