Manage episode 388649939 series 3387541
Welcome to Episode 147 of The Numbers Game. Today, we're shining a light on a topic that's not commonly discussed: accessing superannuation in tough times. We dive into why superannuation is ideally a last resort and explore the scenarios that may warrant early access, including financial distress, medical emergencies, or the need for IVF treatment.
On this episode, we discuss:
- The critical nature of superannuation and why it should be your last resort in tough times
- Circumstances under which early access to superannuation is possible, including terminal illness and IVF treatment
- How different super funds have varied rules for accessing funds early
- The tax consequences associated with early withdrawal of superannuation
- The necessity of getting professional financial advice to explore all your options
