Ray’s experience with First Super
Ray joined First Super a few years ago. Thinking about his retirement, he didn’t want to rely on the government Age Pension. He spoke with one of First Super’s financial advisers who created a retirement plan.
The cost of his retirement plan was already covered by his First Super membership fees. To his surprise, he may be able to retire earlier than he thought and with money ‘in his pocket’.
