*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody. First up on today's show, Marisa interviews Wani Wandian man, longtime activist, and President of the Black Peoples Union, Kieran Stewart-Assheton, who kicks off his interview with a brief explanation of the general aims and work of the BPU as a revolutionary political organisation, and their nonconservative NO campaign in regards to the Voice to Parliament. He goes on to discuss the history of the idea of an Aboriginal advisory committee as a Liberal Party initiative to further undermine First Nations people exercising their Sovereignty, the $25-27M in donations to the Yes23 campaign by mining companies and their affiliates, and the specific kind of Treaty the BPU aims toward... not one with a colonial government who only aims to divide and conquer and further oppress, ending the interview with words of hope. There continues to be a large gap in life expectancy between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, and yet the age of access to the age pension continues to discriminate against Aboriginal people. Next up on the show, Marisa speaks with Gunditjmara woman and VACCHO CEO Jill Gallagher about the Federal Court of Australia, who has dismissed the legal challenge seeking fair and equal access to the age pension for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, failing to recognise this age pension discrimination. She goes on to discuss the prevalence of chronic illness and overrepresentation in the criminal justice system for Aboriginal people, why she supports the Voice to Parliament, changing the culture of correctional services in Victoria, and more.

There's a magic number in superannuation that allows retirees to make the most of their own money and the Age Pension. It's called the super sweet spot. This week on the Friends With Money podcast, Money's Tom Watson is joined by journalist Susan Hely to discuss how the sweet spot works. Why should pre-retirees and retires know about it? What is the sweet spot for singles and couples? How does the taper trap work? What are the benefits of the aged pension?

Rev. Bill Crews chats to Ian Henschke from National Seniors Australia about the barriers to pensioners filling skills gaps. Currently, those on the Age Pension are allowed to earn a "Work Bonus" of $300 a fortnight for a single person, or $320 a fortnight for a couple. For every dollar earned above that amount, pension payments are reduced by 50 cents on every dollar. The Work Bonus will be increased from December 1, taking it from $7,800 a year to $11,800 for this financial year. But the measure will expire on July 1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Acknowledgement of Country// Headlines// Marisa from 3CR's Doin' Time show caught up with Nerita Waight (Yorta Yorta), CEO of the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, about a recent case challenging aged pension discrimination for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people - which is headed for Full Federal Court later this year. The interview highlights the need for fair and equal access to benefits for Aboriginal people who commonly do not reach pension age by virtue of lower life expectancy. Until this life expectancy gap is properly addressed, Aboriginal people must have the right to retire with dignity. Listen to Doin' Time on 3CR on Mondays from 4-5PM.// Ronny Kareni, Canberra-based West Papuan activist, musician and a youth worker, joins us to provide a West Papuan analysis of prime minister Anthony Albanese's meeting with Indonesian president Joko Widodo earlier this week, and the impact of Australia-Indonesia relations on West Papuans.

This week, the podcast revisits a topic I wrote about for The New York Times last month - race and retirement. I’ve written before about how the inequities people of color experience during their working lives spill over into retirement. But during this time of racial reckoning, I wanted to take a deeper dive into the topic.For the Times story, I took special care to seek out the voices of Black Americans who also are expert on this topic. That’s how I found my way to economist Darrick Hamilton. Professor Hamilton is one of the nation’s leading voices on the causes and consequences of racial and ethnic economic disparities. He recently left Ohio State University to rejoin The New School in New York City, where he is teaching and starting up a new Institute for the Study of Race, Stratification and Political Economy.Darrick is a leading proponent of one of the most creative ideas for addressing the racial wealth gap - “baby bonds.” The idea is to provide every American child with a government-funded trust account at birth, starting with a $1,000 contribution. Kids born into lower-wealth families would receive more contributions over time, and the accounts would benefit from compound interest growth. The premise is that much of the wealth in the U.S. is transferred from generation to generation, and there’s a powerful compound effect that starts with our legacy of racist laws and policies and ends with today’s white households able to access far more capital for wealth-building activities - attending college, buying a home or starting a business. Baby bonds could serve as a proactive remedy for that injustice, and in many cases could impact the wealth available at retirement for people of color. In the Times story, I outline the basic numbers on race and retirement. They may not be surprising, but they certainly are appalling. In 2016, the typical Black household approaching retirement had 46 percent of the retirement wealth of the typical white household. For a Latino family, it was 49 percent. Two-thirds of single black retirees have incomes too low to meet basic living expenses. And that was before the pandemic. Since COVID19 struck, unemployment rates for older Black and Latino workers have been much higher than for their white counterparts. And mounting evidence suggestions that millions are being forced into premature retirement. That’s going to translate into sharp cuts in Social Security income and savings, and expensive disruptions in health insurance.The baby bonds concept has caught on in the Democratic party - Senator Cory Booker advocated for it during his presidential campaign and he has sponsored baby bond legislation in the Senate. The idea also has found its way into the Biden presidential campaign.Listen to my conversation with Darrick Hamilton by clicking on the player icon at the top of the newsletter.

Here’s how it could play outI've been writing over the summer about the threat posed to Social Security by President Trump’s threat to continue deferring FICA tax collections should he win reelection. This has been a chaotic episode, with shifting indications from the White House on how a FICA revenue gap might be plugged. And most employers seem to be ignoring the deferral altogether as not worth the bother, and are continuing to collect FICA. Even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce - a staunch Trump ally - has expressed disapproval. Trump signed a presidential memorandum in August ordering the deferral through year-end of FICA revenue, and he also said that he would push for termination altogether of the tax if he wins a second term. It’s not at all clear that he could push this through Congress, but some experts think that the IRS code might permit him to defer FICA collections for an additional year.If we do stop funding Social Security through FICA, just about anything can happen. The concept of an earned benefit can go out the window pretty quick, and people will start thinking of Social Security as welfare. In the political back and forth over FICA, the Trump administration has stated that any deferred FICA revenue would be replaced by general revenue funds. But that suggests a transfer of more than $1 trillion annually - a tall order for a Congress already grappling with the demands of economic support for a flagging economy. It also would mark a turning point in Social Security’s funding structure. The program has always been funded mainly by FICA (it also receives relatively small amounts of revenue from taxes on benefits and interest on trust fund bonds.). Self-funding has been one of the program’s political strengths, as it gives workers and beneficiaries a sense of ownership - as per this oft-quoted 1941 quip from President Franklin Roosevelt:“We put those payroll contributions there so as to give the contributors a legal, moral, and political right to collect their pensions and their unemployment benefits. With those taxes in there, no damn politician can ever scrap my social security program. Those taxes aren’t a matter of economics, they’re straight politics.”Some Republicans have not given up on the dream of converting Social Security into a system of personal saving accounts - an anchoring idea of the reforms proposed by President George W. Bush. The plan was a political and policy flop, but some on the right continue to push it, including the Heritage Foundation.If you doubt this, check out this recent op-ed on FICA by Andrew Biggs of the American Enterprise Institute (emphasis added at the conclusion of this passage):. . . President Trump made clear in an Aug. 12 news conference that his real goal is to replace the Social Security payroll tax with revenues drawn from the general tax fund, the vast majority of which is income taxes. This idea faces both practical and philosophical hurdles, but could help the political parties finally come together to fix Social Security. The first problem with funding Social Security via income taxes is obvious: the federal budget is already in deficit, which means there isn’t room to fund Social Security with general revenues without significantly cutting other programs or raising income taxes. And that tax increase wouldn’t be tiny. In 2019, the federal government collected about $1.7 trillion in individual income taxes, versus nearly $1 trillion in Social Security payroll taxes. Even if the President’s plan would replace only the employees’ 6.2% payroll tax, that would mean about an additional $500 billion in general tax revenues needed. Moreover, funding Social Security with income taxes is also contrary to the program’s history, in which benefit were funded with a flatrate tax that applied to all earnings up to a maximum, which is currently $137,700 per year. The payroll tax contributed to the view that Social Security is an “earned benefit” rather than a welfare plan.But most Democrats have already given up on the idea of truly earned benefits, since their Social Security proposals focus on lifting the payroll tax cap and making the rich carry more of the load.Income-tax financing would simply take that idea in a more progressive direction. While about 15% of earnings accrue to employees with salaries above the $137,700 payroll tax ceiling, almost half of total income taxes are paid by households with incomes above that level. More than one-third of income taxes are paid by the top 1% alone.But what is in it for Republicans? The answer is that an income-tax-financed safety retirement net need not be nearly as expensive as the current Social Security program. For instance, Australia’s Age Pension costs around one-fifth of what Social Security does, because it merely supplements households’ own savings to ensure a minimum standard of living in retirement. Canada and New Zealand also use income tax-financed programs to provide a strong base of retirement income.For this idea to work, though, the U.S. would need to follow Australia’s lead by signing up every worker for a retirement savings account with automatic contributions. Those contributions could be funded using the payroll taxes that no longer would be needed to fund Social Security. Biggs was a deputy commissioner of Social Security during the Bush administration and he was involved in the aforementioned failed effort to convert Social Security into a system of private savings accounts. He hasn’t talked much about privatization in recent years - until now, that is:Once transitioned into place — which admittedly would take years — the result would be higher private savings, particularly for lower-income households, which reduces wealth inequality and boosts the economy. And while income taxes would be higher, total government spending on Social Security would be lower.To be clear, this is my plan, not President Trump’s. But for income tax-funding of Social Security to work, for it to overcome 30 years of Congressional inaction on Social Security, it needs to think creatively and offer something to both sides. Because the traditional menu of reforms — payroll tax rate increases, higher retirement ages, lower cost-of-living adjustments and so forth — haven’t motivated Congress to action. Joe Biden has been hammering Trump on the FICA issue in television ads running in swing states. We are living in a very weird world, indeed, when the chief actuary of Social Security is quoted in a political ad. This is a public episode.

Hi Everyone – Welcome to Finance and Fury, the Furious Friday edition. The whole point of this episode is to remind people of the original purpose of the Furious Friday episodes of this podcast – that is to think for yourselves – For those of you newer to the podcast – there are three episodes a week – Monday is personal finance – Wednesday is answering questions – Friday is more of a commentary on what is going on – a deeper dive observing the political, socioeconomic, and many other topics – as this all related to economics Recently received many comments or reviews saying to stick to my lane and to not cover corona as millions would die - instead do economics or investment topics – I was – and still am – Government measures globally to combat this invisible enemy (as politicians refer to it as) are affecting the economy – so in an effort to understand if these actions are justified, I was looking into what is going on – If something is crashing the economy – then that is exactly what I am going to cover – whether it be a natural disaster, climate change rhetoric, or a virus – as there are political policies proposed in response to each which has an economic effect That is what this new Furious Friday series is about –the government responses to a virus – and to look at the justifications for their policies which are economy crashing – so we will be looking at this further and the incentives that are in play – as the very foundations of economics are incentives – based around the economic problem – So this series is dedicated to those telling me to stick to economics – as this is exactly what I am doing – if you can’t understand that then this may not be the podcast for you and there are plenty of other podcasts you can go and listen to – or the Project needs listeners We're all on the same team – and I want the best for every one of you – as I actually do care about people – hence why I have my purpose - do my job and also do this podcast– I want the best for people – why I warn about the authoritarian issues we are blindly walking towards In the next few Furious Friday episodes – will be looking into this topic – doing a deep dive – but don’t just trust what I say – that is no better than trusting the media – go and look for yourself – think for yourself – don’t just follow the mass consensus – helps to avoid the situation of a herd all running off a cliff – I will leave links on the show notes on the website for each episode – but research the numbers yourself – not on the news – ask yourself – are these numbers outside of the normal? Answer might surprise – but we will go through this further later in the episodes - In the past few weeks been called Alan Jones to Alex Jones – that is fine – actually made me laugh – but the truth is more important than any personal attacks I may face – I don’t really care about social shame and these people are responding in a manner of panic and emotion – and actually haven’t made a single good point – they just parrot the media and do personal attacks – and evidently emotion can be manipulated – just like fear – a powerful emotion Examples – Stop it – millions will die - don’t you care about people dying? Yes - I care about people dying unnecessarily as much as anybody else – but my motives are to be able to have an honest conversation about the measures being put into place And my reactions to the situation aren’t being driven by emotional manipulation from Governments or media – they are driven by thinking things through - in an effort to find the truth or logos of a situation So I want to get the poisonous accusation that has been already made out of the way – that anyone who criticises the shutdown of society doesn’t care about the old people dying, or even, wanting people to die, out of the way It is the same as if you oppose war – like I do – for example the Iraq war – anyone back then that opposed the war was targeted by saying that they must then support Saddam Hussein’s fascist regime and that they think he should be allowed to torture people – see how ridiculous this sounds? – is a binary way of thinking All it does is shut down serious conversations about the validity of an action - similar in the attempts to crush dissent on other politically hot topics like climate change – those that do this are acting like a dictator – shutting down any dissent if it breaks their narrative of the world – in a democracy – discussing issues is the only way to retain a democracy – otherwise you live in a fascist or dictatorship if you aren’t allowed to question your leaders actions When it comes to the current government actions – a lot of the publics thinking is binary – which is a completely false dichotomy – either it is a question of saving lives or a question of saving the economy - People who talk about the economy as if it’s just some kind of abstract machine of numbers and profits don’t understand the economy – the economy is all of us – our lives make up the economy as without us – there is no economy – but in addition – it is our livelihoods – so not just lives but individual’s ability to prosper that make up the economy as an aggregate We are how products are created, we are who buy those products – and unfortunately – with the way modern society has been structured is that we cannot function without the economy – for me, caring about the economy is caring about every life that exists within it – as without people – there is no economy Financial Markets are a subset of the economy – these days that is the speculative side But the overall economy is a function of our lives - nobody is buying, then nobody is selling, which means nobody is working, and if nobody is working, then there is no way for people to live in a society that is based on monetary exchanges, so how do we pay for our houses and our food then? Going deeper - How do we pay for the social services that Governments provide – like education systems or pay public doctors or build hospitals? – As yes, as tax payers we are funding these services If we have no economy to make our own way – then we become reliant on a Government - which is socialism – as everything then is nationalised and owned by the government – but without an economy to tax – socialism cannot exist as the taxation income required to fund government spending projects dries up – results on Governments relying of deficient spending (which is where we are at now with the emergency measures) – look around – read about any country that turns to massive deficit spending long term – hasn’t worked out for any country in history in the long term – starts to create a zombie economy or a modern day Venezuela - where people are eating their own domestic pets to survive This is why a conversation about these measures is important – otherwise we can blindly end up in a much worse position – Over the past few weeks – society as we know it and our personal freedoms have been shut down – and in return the economy has been put on hold – so for anyone out there still doubtful about the fact that we are the economy – the causal effect of our freedoms being removed to go to work or operate a business = and the economy shutting down should start to become evident – we are the economy – hence why governments of socialist nations that try to make themselves the economy fail so fantastically - As when civil liberties have been curtailed in the name of fighting against anything – even inequality – the economy and us always suffers But there has been hardly any scrutiny or opposition against these ever-stricter measures being unjustly forced upon us – people getting fines $10k for driving around – not even leaving their car We live in a country with ‘representative democracy’ where parliament determines what is good for us – just like a parent and their children – now - our most basic freedoms have been eroded – If we had any kind of leadership that was honest about looking after our best interest – there would have at least been a debate before implementing these measures - To me - this has demonstrated that we don’t really have a free or democratic society any longer – we have had no say in any of this – hence the representative nature of democracy – we get to choose who leads us but have no say in what they actually do Now - we are all virtually under house arrest and Government determined rituals all have to observed – even though you wouldn’t know about them unless you watch the media – does this not raise some alarm bells at the speed and the ease with which this is being enforced on us – when we aren’t sure what a reasonable excuse to leave the house looks like – I have done a lot of research on history – especially the authoritarian side to history – one key of control is to have laws that evolve and are subjective – creating mass confusion – where anything you do may be illegal – hence – the population freezes out of fear So this whole Furious Friday series will be to just talk for a moment about the extraordinary situation we find ourselves in - we have closed down virtually the whole of society and most of the economy, and in the process we have stored up immeasurable problems for the future – ignoring the factor of now losing the most fundamental rights of even leaving your home unless the Government deems it essential I am just seeking an answer – we are presented with a problem – and the way of solving it by those whose only job is to constantly seek more power is to shut down the country and strangle civil liberties Think for a second – Australia’s Government is starting to model their policies off one of the most despotic country in the world, the People’s Republic of China – even the WHO praised them for being the role model to follow – which raises alarm bells – an organisation like the UN wanting people to lose their individual sovereignty – this isn’t suspicious at all Are these measures justified – well what happens to a society which trashes its economy? I will tell you what happens. It is unable to afford proper health provision or to provide a social safety net – such as the Age Pension all of its standards decline, its food gets worse, its air quality gets worse, its housing gets worse, its water quality gets worse, and everybody gets sicker – Looking at the concept of Human Rights – These only exist when a country is in first world conditions – If we have no money left to provide for health care – health care can no longer be provided – what about welfare like the Age Pension? How much pension is provided in third world nations? This series is in an effort to lay these facts out and to explain fully why I think the way I do about the events now playing out– be 3 episodes at minimum over the next few Fridays – as what I think comes from many many hours of research – probably say over the last month around 80 – 100 hours spending reading published studies and – not just reading and then parroting social media or other news pages – In all of this – I want to find the truth to the question – is the cure worse than the disease? The real question is, is this serious enough to warrant putting most of our population into house imprisonment, wrecking our economy for an indefinite period, destroying businesses that honest and hardworking people have taken years to build up, saddling future generations with debt, depression, stress, heart attacks, suicides and unbelievable distress inflicted on millions of people who are not especially vulnerable, and will suffer only mild symptoms or none at all? The complete failure to debate it is astonishing to me – Science by consensus versus science by the scientific method The fact that people can’t even drive in their car – not even getting out – shows the hand – to me a lot of these measures seem illogical So we will be looking at the disease itself but also the measure being put into place – and their consequences In the next few episodes, we will look deeper into the numbers – but a few factors – which should at least raise some questions – quick summary – we will go through each of these in a lot of detail in the next episode – leave sources in next episode to these The testing – what is the methodology of this? Is it qualitative or quantitative? Is there a gold standard to test against? how it is being done and the accuracy to false positives – estimates around 60-80% of false positives – similar to the number of those who show now symptoms – should raise some alarm bells – so if someone doesn’t show symptoms – are they sick given the degree of error rates The distinction between dying of corona virus – or dying with coronavirus – CDC advice on death certificates – ‘COVID should be reported on the death certificate where it is assumed to have caused or contributed to death’ “if the deceased had another chronic condition such as COPD that may have also contributed, these conditions can be reported in part 2 – but technically not the actual cause of death Even numbers in Italy – which is being used to ratchet up the fear – If you have no pre-morbidity – has a 0.9% chance of death – of those average age has been 78 – then - over 50% of deaths have been in those with 3+ pre-morbidity condition – i.e. have cancer, heart disease, etc. This episode is just as a little introduction – but don’t worry – I will do a deeper dive into some anomalies which aren’t apparent unless you actually look and think about them in the next Furious Friday episode - Next Episode – looking at the numbers and methodology to see the validity of these responses - Thank you for listening to today's episode.

Old Age Pension | Old Age Security | Canada Pension Plan Canada Pension Plan First, what is the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP)? It is a fund that exists and is managed by the Canadian government. Canadians contribute money to the fund with every single paycheck, which shows up as “CPP Contribution”. It's roughly 5% of your salary, up to a maximum of roughly 57-58 grand – however, these numbers may change annually. There's a lot of myths out there. People think that it's severely underfunded, while that is not actually the case. The most recent actuarial valuation put the dollars at about $400 billion, and the actuarial valuation said that it is good for at least 75 years. It's averaged about 11% return in the last while or so. The asset allocation has also dramatically changed. It used to be nothing but bonds back in the 70s and 80s. Over the past while there's been a dramatic shift, first to equities and stocks, and then the last 5 or 10 years there's been a dramatic shift to alternatives. Real estate infrastructure, private equity, and even private debt exist now. Stocks are about a third of the CPP, with traditional bonds accounting for around 10%. The rest is all that other fun stuff that is usually uncorrelated to the stock market. ⭐Full Video and Blog Article on Pension Transfer | Pension Withdrawal Old Age Security Old age security (OAS) is a dollar figure that you get when you hit 65. It's based on how many years you've been a resident of Canada regardless of whether you paid into it or not, unless you made too much money in which case the OAS will be clawed back. The claw back starts at around 80k, give or take, and goes up to about 120k. It works in a linear fashion, all the way to the point where you get $0 if you make about 120k. In other words, the more money you make, the more the OAS cheque will be clawed back. Deferring CPP/OAS If you are deferring your CPP, you are choosing to let it go for a further period of time. You can start taking your CPP as early as age 60 and you can take it as late as age 70. Every month that you take it prior, and every month that you defer is effectively 0.6% more assets that you are getting for the rest of your life. From 60 to 65 that number is 0.6% and from 65 to 70 that number is 0.7%. Think of it this way - if you defer it five years, you know you're adding about 6% or 7% per year. You are adding about 30% to 35% to the amount that you will be collecting for the rest of your life. You can do the same with the OAS. You can defer the OAS up to age 70 – the key with the OAS is you want to make sure that if you reach the age of 65 and are in a situation of getting the OAS clawed back, you should unequivocally defer it because you're not getting it anyways. If you're deferring it, things might change in your life, to the point where you're making less money and are able to collect on that OAS. In the case of OAS, defer it if you are making 120k or more. However, when should you be deferring on the CPP? There are a couple of situations that can impact whether you should take it early or not. First, the most obvious one is if you are still working and you do not need the capital, you should absolutely not take the CPP because you will pay tax on that. You're likely in a relatively high tax bracket, so you don't get the full value of the CPP. Plus, you're not deferring it, so you will not get that 30% to 40% bonus that you get by deferring it. If you don't need the cash and are still working, do not take the CPP. There are a couple of considerations to be accounted for when deciding to take the CPP earlier. If there's any issue with your health that is impacting how long you think you might live, you should consider taking it early. If you're short on cash, and you cannot meet your cashflow on a month to month basis, you should consider taking the CPP. These situations are all very dependent on a good sound financial plan. Without having a strong financial plan, you have no clue whether you should take it or not. A financial plan looks at cashflow, tax situations, and the value of your estate. It looks at all your different taxable needs, a cashflow needs on a year to year basis and spits out a solution for you so that you know where you're taking your money. To make the proper CPP decision and OAS decision, you absolutely need to have a sound financial plan. ⭐ Full Video and Blog Article on How to Prepare a Sound Retirement & Estate Planning Strategy

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY EMAIL “GAINING CHOICE” TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THINGS FINANCIAL AUTONOMY If retirement is a decade or more away, it’s tempting to look at your parents and perhaps grandparents in retirement and figure, well, they seem to be getting along fine, I’ll just have what they’re having. But there’s two key factors that have underpinned your parents retirement, that will look vastly different in your retirement – the Age Pension, and a huge increase in wealth due to rising property prices.
Welcome to Finance and Fury, Furious Friday! I saw an ad this week for a movie called ’Wizard of Lies’ – Bernie Madoff movie – 2008. He was a stockbroker, investment adviser and financier who made headlines around the world when he was arrested for one of the largest accounts of financial fraud in U.S. history. What he was operating was known as a Ponzi Scheme (named after Charles Ponzi, who became notorious for using the technique in the 1920s) For those who aren’t aware the definition of a Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud marketed as an investment – the usually have high, guaranteed returns – “too good to be true” Fraud - a thing intended to deceive others through wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. The success is reliant on new inflows from investors, as that is where returns come from. In other words: A Ponzi scheme is a system where the investor thinks their money is invested in something which is generating the returns, but are actually just used to pay other investors When the scheme runs out of new investors it then collapses – it’s doomed to fail The Ponzi scheme generates returns for older investors by acquiring new investors Warning signs of a Ponzi scheme High investment returns with little or no risk. Be highly suspicious of any "guaranteed" investment opportunity Overly consistent returns. Investment values tend to go up and down over time, especially those offering potentially high returns. Be suspect of an investment that continues to generate regular, positive returns regardless of overall market conditions Unregistered investments. Ponzi schemes typically involve investments that have not been registered with regulators. Registration – this provides investors with access to information about the company's management, products, services, and finances. Unlicensed sellers. Federal and state securities laws require investment professionals and their firms to be licensed or registered. Most Ponzi schemes involve unlicensed individuals or unregistered firms. Secretive and/or complex strategies. Avoiding investments that you do not understand, or for which you cannot get complete information, is a good rule of thumb. Difficulty receiving payments. Ponzi scheme - People think they’re investing in something, but their money is actually being invested in nothing. This is why a Ponzi scheme is Fraud: Act of deceiving others for financial gain The only winner is the one who runs the scheme Why have I been jabbering on about this? I was thinking that social security has a lot of similar characteristics Is social security a Ponzi scheme? First – we need to look at social security Social security is ‘any government system that provides monetary assistance to people’ Social security is enshrined in Article 22 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) – Adopted by UN General Assembly in 1948: Consists of 30 articles affirming individual's rights It’s not legally binding but sets guidelines for countries to follow Expenditure includes a range of payments and services: Income support payments such as pensions and allowances (Age pension, Newstart, Veterans) Family Payments, paid parental leave, child care fee assistance Funding for aged care services and disability funding Put simply: Social Security is a transfer payment - transferring income from one person to another Transferred from: The younger working individuals (generation of workers) Transferred to: those who have ceased work - generation of retirees How does this compare with a Ponzi scheme? Current Welfare Payments in Australia - $164bn p.a. now and looking to reach $191.8 billion in 2019–20. Income tax levied total is $390m, MTRs, payroll taxes, GST others Of this, $195bn is from individuals 84% of income tax paid goes to pay for social security The scheme – Payments (returns) are reliant on new money coming in. Warning signs High investment returns with little or no risk -"guaranteed" opportunity For any return, some risk needs to be present The risk here: As long as taxpayers still are around it will be fine – 84% of income tax paid goes to paying Government benefits. Overly consistent returns – payments go up in large consistent annual growth Refer to previous – tax payer reliant – As long as the income tax increases over time, welfare can continue Unregistered and Unlicensed investments. No Regulation over the regulators - Registration is important because it provides investors with access to key information – how much do we get? There is nowhere near the level of reporting regulation imposed on CBA for example. That is, we have a good idea about the financials of CBA – We have a choice, so they need to be transparent…and it’s in their best interest to show off as well. When there is no competition or if you aren’t doing what you say, less transparency works best. Let’s use tax savings for example – When the government forecasts tax revenue based on policy changes, it is wishful thinking at best. Example – Make $10bn from franking credit removal – Assumes behaviours would stay the same. Would investors value dividends as much if they got rid of franking credits? If not, companies will change their dividend model and reinvest (high value to shareholders) – Like in the US where there are no Franking Credits Secretive and complex strategies Who pays attention to the bills being passed in parliament? More time is spent in the news on stories that sell Technically you don’t get a say either – we elect people to represent us – but no communication on policy Difficulty receiving payments – If you qualify you will get a payment, but… It won’t be the money you have put in, that has gone to someone else already. What you are getting is someone else’s contributions. The new money funding the returns of the older investors! Warning signs add up, but technically not fraud There is the promise that when current workers retire, there will be another generation of workers behind them who will be the source of their Social Security retirement payments Can this last? Given its size, the welfare budget is often a target for savings measures, particularly in the face of budget deficits. Government website quote: “It will be difficult to achieve significant savings without looking at addressing spending in these areas, particularly the largest component: The Age Pension.” Risen from $100bn in 1998 to $164bn in 2017, $192bn in 2020 – which is an increase of about $10bn p.a. for the next 3 years “It is unsound” (Samuelson - Nobel Prize in economics) - Those who receive retirement benefits are actually receiving amounts that far exceed anything paid in by 5 to 10 times on average It relies on having new tax payers for the inflows to be sustainable Need to always have more youths than old folks in a growing population. Real income going up at 3% per year (compounding) then the taxable base on which benefits rest is always much greater than the taxes paid by those receiving the benefits, and there is no issue…just as long as the real income, population and tax base keeps on increasing This may be a great Ponzi scheme ever… as long as the population (or tax base) continues to increase. But what happens when populations cease growing? Through history – People used to have a lot of kids, why? No mechanisms to save, which is how you prepare for retirement No Age Pension (Introduced in 1904 when average life expectancy was 63, age pension eligibility was 65) The funding mechanism was children – Better be good to them and have plenty to share the load Why else did people use to have 6 kids? Infant mortality used to be 50% for one. But they had their retirement funding covered. Why do we see high birth rates in nations that don’t have the same privileges we do in the west? Small Problem – Used to live shorter lives, and there used to be higher birth rates (future people to tax) 1960 – Birth Rate per woman 3.45 – Average life expectancy 70.82 (Baby Boomer Generation being born) 1978 – Birth rate dropped below 1.95 – Average life expectancy 73.67 2018 – Birth rate hasn’t gone above 2 – Currently 1.83 – Life expectancy 82.45 (longer for woman) Birth rate of 2 would mean we are staying the same (less than 2 the population is declining, more than 2 the population is increasing). That is, you need 2 new people to replace mum and dad. But a lot has changed – contraceptives for example, as well as the need to have children reduced due to having social security. Over the long term it’s uncertain that there is going to be enough of a population to tax at the appropriate level to fund required social security. As life expectancy goes up there are more people around that will rely on benefits. Don’t fear though – While there is uncertainty, you can remove this by having a plan in place Nothing is impossible – Some systems do collapse When a reliance on a system is introduced Rather than being reliant on the system, reduce any uncertainty by working out what you’ll need and when you’ll need it by What you can do: Invest for yourself – Super – Path of least resistance – Check a super fund calculator – Simple projection to see if you will have enough Personal investments – come up with a plan outside of super – Property/shares/managed funds Be self-sufficient in retirement, this removes the risk. When the success of payments is reliant on others, you have no control – Financial independence is the aim after all Being on the Age Pension isn’t fun – Centrelink want to know everything about you (updates) Get a plan and just start – Gaining back control Thanks for listening!

Event podcast: At this Policy Pitch event, the panel looked at how current generations are faring in retirement, and what kind of retirement we can all expect in the future. They discussed the policy levers such as the Super Guarantee, superannuation draw-down rules, retirement ages, and the level and means testing of the Age Pension. And they explored the trade-offs that these involve for spending before retirement and for government budgets.

Let’s take a look at a recent Press Club speech from the Australian Greens leader, Dr Richard Di Natale, “With the radical way that the nature of work is changing, along with increasing inequality, our current social security system is outdated…A modern, flexible and responsive safety net would increase their resilience and enable them to make a greater contribution to our community and economy. That’s why we need a Universal Basic Income. We need a UBI that ensures everyone has access to an adequate level of income, as well as access to universal social services, health, education and housing. A UBI is a bold move towards equality... It’s about an increased role for government in our rapidly changing world.” You can find this Press Club speech on the Greens’ website https://greens.org.au/npc-2018 What is Universal Basic Income (UBI) Here in Australia, it has been suggested the government might hand out somewhere around A$20,000 per year to every man and woman (with figures between A$10,000 and A$25,000 discussed). The UBI scheme proposes that the government distribute a flat-rate payment to every adult citizen, without work testing or individual level of participation in the labour market, without job-search requirements or even submission to drug tests and would be implemented as either a partial or complete substitute for social security and welfare programs. Where does it stem from? UBI has returned to the policy agenda as the result of concerns about technological change. Some commentators argue that new technology will permanently reduce the demand for labour leading to job losses, stagnant incomes and worsening inequality. Technological unemployment – a long history During the Renaissance period for example, where a lot of people were put out of work in transcription and textiles with the invention of the printing press in the 15th century and knitting machines in the 16th century Industrial revolution – Steam power, eventually engines Agriculture 1920s – Tractors – A decline from 65% average in the 1500’s, down to 40% in 1800’s. Now it’s down to 1-2%. This is a massive displacement of employment wouldn’t you say? Has employment gone anywhere? Employment at all-time high. More people on the planet than ever, lower unemployment rates. That means, there’s lots of jobs - as tech increases, options increase, jobs increase. Okay, say we do get to the point tech can do everything for us…we may as well collect our income from these robot slaves. Just hope they don’t become self-aware otherwise they might want to keep some of what they work for. How it might work? The numbers – population of 24 million 18+ at $22,000 (Age Pension rate) = $428 billion Is there a solution? Tax more (or borrow): Get rid of Tax free threshold? On top of what we earn? Cost money to collect, so they would have to take more to give back less …20% slippage on their collection costs. The tap will run out! Socialism doesn’t work as eventually there is nobody left to take stuff from. Example – 5 friends in bar Guy #1 spent years working 80-hour weeks, good job now, banker Another went to Uni – comfortable job at 35 hours a week The other 3 are unemployed Every week the 3 who are unemployed ask the guy #1 to buy their drinks, guy #2 gets his own drinks, since he has a job. One week, guy #1 says no, so his friends start laying on the guilt …How long does he go and buy round after round for his friends? Then, when guy #1 stops paying, who is going to pay the bill? Guy #2? After a point, the 3 unemployed guys are suddenly in a much, much worse position because no one is buying the drinks. In the real world That one guy, or top 20% of people, pays 71% of income tax. How long would they keep footing the bill for their friends who are not working? The what about companies? When robots take over and production costs decrease, do they make a tonne more profits? Not necessarily. Lower production costs see in greater competition. Company profits don’t increase in the long term, but prices of goods do drop! Going back to the quotes from the speech… “With the radical way that the nature of work is changing, along with increasing inequality, our current social security system is outdated,” Needing a radical way that will assist everyone with our current social security system. I do agree that it’s a bit outdated and might be looked at in the future…however… “A modern, flexible and responsive safety net would increase people’s resilience and enable them to make a greater contribution to our community and economy.” The part in the speech about being more resilient as a result of this income, its actually the complete opposite when you look at it. Its 100% reliance on the government. Some people may stop being self-reliant and making their own income - that makes you reliant! The government will (apparently) take care of everyone if only you give them the money to do it. In my experience I tend to know how to care for myself in better ways than the government can. “It’s about an increased role for government in our rapidly changing world.” Sadly, this is the only true statement in this speech. A better solution Helping each other - why can’t people go back to helping their local community? Kids helping support their parents? It’s hard when a decent chunk of your income goes to funding someone else’s parents as well. Go to financeandfury.com.au to ask a question Unless you want me to cover how different political institutions lead to different conditions of living and equality? Or how legislation to protect consumers leads to an increase in monopolies, hurting them more?
Ever stayed awake at night worrying about whether or not your investment portfolio will expire before you do? Then this week’s show is compulsory listening. My guest this week is a Finance Hour favorite – Tim Farrelly, principal of Farrelly’s investment strategy. Tim guides financial planners like me in putting together long term portfolios for clients to ensure a comfortable retirement. So whether you are retired, thinking about retirement or just want some insight as to how you should invest when interest rates are low and sharemarkets are volatile, you are certain to benefit from listening to this week’s show. “What is sensible will depend on every individual and their risk tolerance. If they can’t cope with volatility and downturns, they may just need to get used to spending less – Tim Farrelly “When I think about my retirement, I want to be at least 95% confident that my money is not going to run out” – Tim Farrelly “Annuities allow you to get a guaranteed income stream over time, which may be useful for securing at least your basic income requirements ” – Reuben Zelwer Today on the Finance Hour Podcast: In “Reuben’s Rant”, I give my take on Facebook data breach. What the standard expenditure benchmarks are for a modest and comfortable retirement. Tim tells us why it is important to have a high confidence level (up to 95%)of meeting your retirement income needs. How a ‘spending policy’ can be useful in reviewing your spending options in retirement. The relationship between market valuations, risk tolerance and starting point in charting your retirement course. The role of the Age Pension and annuities in providing a secure baseline for retirement income. The perverse incentives of the Age Pension asset test. And be sure to listen to my “Propellerhead of the week” which is about the importance of the free financial counselling service to assist people who get into financial difficulty.

The goal of early retirement is one many Australians aspire too. And certainly, when thinking about achieving Financial Autonomy, retiring early is very often baked into those goals. But what is the best way to bring that goal to reality, given the uniqueness of our system – superannuation, franking credits, negative gearing, and means tested Aged Pensions, just to get you started. The approach I’m going to take you through today is a multi-phase approach that I’ve built specifically for the Australian early retirement landscape. Its aim is to use the opportunities we have, such as franking credits and superannuation, to get you to early retirement as quickly as possible. We’ve actually built a special PDF just for this post. I’ve put all of the diagrams in there for you. You know what they say – a picture tells a thousand words. And I certainly think visualising this approach is helpful. So ideally have that in front of you as you consume this episode, but if that’s not practical, then at least download it latter. Early Retirement for Australians Download Early retirement in Australia – an overview To survive in our modern world, you need income. Long gone are the days where we grew all our own food, hunted for our meat, and lived a subsistence life. So retiring early necessitates solving the problem of how will you generate the income you need to meet your expenses, if you cease being in your current paid employment role. Let’s start with the helicopter high up in the air. We all know that in Australia we have the superannuation system to assist in funding our retirement. Considerable tax concessions are provided to encourage us to build up saving within superannuation. And then when we retire, we are able to convert our superannuation savings into an income stream, and receive even more generous tax concessions. Income drawn from superannuation is tax free from age 60 for the majority of people. Given the tax favoured status superannuation receives, you’d likely be wise to utilise this system to the maximum extent possible to generate your retirement income after you reach age 60. But what do you do before age 60? Well if early retirement is your goal, you need to have built up other investments, likely shares and property. In this pre-60 early retirement phase, you can rely on the income these investments produce, and you perhaps also sell them down progressively to live of the gains and proceeds of the investments, remembering that when you hit 60, you gain access to a new pool of savings – your superannuation. Okay, so that’s the overview – pre 60 you’re living off investment income, and perhaps also some employment income, and I use that term loosely – it could mean as an employee, but it’s just as likely to be some freelancing work, a short term contract, or as an advisor or consultant. Even if you’ve left your normal job, there’s a good chance that whatever you find to do with your time, you’ll pick up some income along the way. Then after age 60, superannuation is the primary solution for your income needs. The sub phases Let’s bring the helicopter down a bit lower now. Within these pre and post 60 phases, I believe you can break things down further. In the pre-60 phase, I’ve termed these two sub phases the Transition phase and the Investment Income phase. And in the post 60 phase, that can be split into the Active Retirement phase, and the Feet-up phase. Imagine that perhaps in your 30’s you’ve decided that early retirement is something that you aspire to. You crunch your numbers and determine the amount of income that you’d need to afford the early retirement lifestyle that you want. You could wait until you have enough investments and superannuation that you can live a total life of luxury. But most people I work with prefer instead to retire earlier, but still earn some income. I call this the transition phase. Maybe you back off from 5 days per week to 3. Remember episode 20 where I interviewed Adam Murray. He’d cut back to 3 days per week as a paid employee, and actually spread those hours across 4 days. Then he had time to pursue other projects, and be the father that he wanted to be for his 2 boys. So during the transition phase, you’re still earning some income, just less than pre-early retirement, and perhaps you’re also earning some investment income. As you get closer to 60, your investments have grown. In particular it’s highly likely that you’ve used some borrowings to build the wealth, for example borrowing to buy an investment property, and hopefully somewhere in this pre-60 phase, the debt gets repaid, meaning the rent which was going to loan repayments is now freed up for you to live off. So the second sub-phase in the pre-age 60 segment is the Investment Income phase. In the Investment income phase you’ve scaled any paid employment right back, possibly given it away altogether. You’re primarily living off your dividend and rental income, and perhaps even selling down investments in the knowledge you’ll be turning on the superannuation tap come age 60. Franking credits will keep your tax down here, and you can plan any capital gains tax events to get you the best possible outcome. Not anti tax Now let’s look at the post age 60 sub phases – Active Retirement and Feet-up. The Active Retirement phase is likely to be from 60 to 70 or 75. During this phase you’ve slowed down a little but still remain active – traveling and participating fully in your recreation activities like golf or yoga. As a result your income needs are likely the same as pre 60. Because you’ve turned age 60 and are retired from the work force, you can now access your super. And it’s likely that you will turn on an income stream from these savings, given this is the most tax advantageous element of the entire superannuation system. Thus the bulk of your income in the Active Retirement phase will come from superannuation. But it’s likely you will still have some investment income coming in as a bit of a top-up. Perhaps this can pay for the annual overseas trip. This Active Retirement phase could be an excellent time to realise any significant capital gains liabilities, for example selling a rental property, as your superannuation is a tax free income source so your total taxable income is likely negligible. The final post age 6o phase is the feet-up phase. At some point later in life you’re going to have done all of your traveling, and the realities of getting older mean that you slow down. Expenses tend to reduce, and medical appointments rise. During this phase the bulk of your investment have been used up, and you’re now living on your superannuation. Depending on your circumstances, an Age Pension may also come into the frame at some point, which will help in prolonging the life of your superannuation savings. Early Retirement for Australians Download An early retirement example So let’s play an early retirement scenario out, so that you can see the how your income need might be meet in each phase. Imagine we first sit down and develop an early retirement plan for you when you are 34. We work to that plan, refining as we go along, and by age 45, you’ve built up enough assets to be able to quit the high pressure career that has got you to the position you are now in. The first phase is the Transition phase. You’ve still got great contacts in your profession, and so whilst you want to step back from all the stress and travel of your corporate career, you’ve got an opportunity to do some consulting work for one client for a day a week, and another long-time professional friend has asked if you could do some overflow work for them as it comes up. Your income in the transition phase is therefore generated perhaps 2/3rds from these employment type earnings, and 1/3rd from the dividends from your share portfolio, which until now had been reinvesting all its income. You have an investment property too, but at the moment there is still debt on this, so the rental income goes entirely towards paying down this debt, and meeting the other bills like council rates and maintenance. Further on into your early retirement now and you enter the Investment Income phase. The rental property has been paid off, freeing up the rental income to further meet your expenses. The 1 day per week consulting gig has finished, but you’re still getting occasional overflow work from your friend. Your income split perhaps now flips, to be 1/3rd or perhaps even less from employment type income, and the bulk of your income comes from investments – share dividends, rental property income, and the occasional share sale when a lump sum expense comes up. You reach 60. You’re in the Active Retirement phase. You’ve told your friend you don’t wish to do any more overflow work – you don’t have the time! What with golf 2 days a week, volunteering as the treasurer of the local Rotary club, keeping up with the family, and regular holidays, you’ve got more than enough on your plate. So now you turn on the superannuation income stream. You’ve sold down most of your share portfolio by now but you still have the rental property so you have income from that in addition to your super. You have a great time during this phase, but by age 74, you’ve had a few health issues and are starting to slow down. You’re still playing seniors golf on a Friday, but you don’t fancy overseas travel any more and are happy to live a bit quieter life. You’re in the Feet-up phase. Maybe you sell the investment property around now. The maintenance is getting a bit of a bother and it’d be nice to have the cash available. Between the proceeds from the sale of the rental property, and your super, you see out your days without a financial worry in the world. So what do you think? A plan you could work towards. Early Retirement in Australia is possible and I think many people could imagine living out a scenario something like what I’ve just gone through. The reason most people don’t live that life though is because they never TAKE ACTION. Don’t let that be you.
