information to pass on to my son, he is almost at the age to start looking for his first after school job.  We have talked about savings and a little about credit cards (mostly warnings against them). But any information that would help set him up with some good basic knowledge would be appreciated. Thanks Justine. Great idea for a topic! They are just starting to introduce financial literacy into the school curriculum, but it's a bit late to help kids who are finishing in the next few years! I'll blog on that very soon! Justine Davies Thu 06 Sep 12 (10:20am) The one question that still confuses me with superannuation is how much is enough? There just never seems to be a straight forward way of calculating how much super is enough.  If we were to retire at say 60 and want to have an income of say $65k at todays value, how much super would we need to theoretically have? I know the calculation would be a guess, but it would help us to know whether we were on the right track in our super funds for when we retire in the next 10 years or so. Also what is a reasonable fee for a non aligned financial planner, to rationalise our super funds and set up a plan for us in the future. We have been quoted $1500, is that reasonable?
