Have we become too obsessed with retirement?

 

Mike is joined by psychiatrist and social commentator Dr Tanveer Ahmed to discuss whether Australia has become too obsessed with retirement.

With superannuation increasingly a political battleground, should Australians have greater access to their savings when times are tough?

While compulsory super has delivered benefits, are we putting too much emphasis on retirement at the expense of younger generations struggling with housing, raising families and building financial security?

Have we struck the right balance between saving for retirement and enjoying opportunities while we’re young?
