Superannuation: where does it go, how much do you need, and how do you make the most of it? Often retirement can seem so far away that we don't give our super a second thought, especially when it's in several different funds. But taking control of your super now can save you thousands in the long run. In this episode, Melissa Browne and Pallavi Sharda speak to Melinda Howes, General Manager of Superannuation at BT, to wade through all the jargon around superannuation, and get the facts.
