Recently there's been much speculation around how the over-50s are spending, or planning to spend their superannuation savings, from paying down mortgages to finally taking that overseas trip.
Hand in hand with this speculation have been industry calls to restrict lump sum payments and raise the age at which you can access your super.
In all of this, no one has directly asked you what you think: how you are living or plan to live your retirement, how the superannuation system has served or failed you in that quest, and whether greater government control over how you spend your retirement savings is fair.
It's important that the consumer voice is heard in this debate.
In filling out this confidential survey you will provide National Seniors with a clear evidenced-based foundation upon which to represent the views of the over-50s to the Government and Opposition.
