Use of Withdrawal Proceeds Base = Respondents who have changed jobs in the past 15 years and who were a member of a pension or provident fund and who withdrew some or all of their retirement benefits in cash.
Spending Trends Debt reduction is a popular application across all ages and income levels Lower income earners are more likely to use these funds for everyday needs or to buy smaller household items (appliances, furniture etc). Younger respondents are more likely to spend on immediate needs Consumers take on a longer term view as they age, with older respondents more likely to favour property investment (acquisition or renovation or paying off existing home loan) or longer term reinvestment.
In Summary Members are retiring with far lower benefits than they should receive from retirement funds Preservation would make a dramatic improvement to their retirement security Lack of awareness and economic pressures faced by members add to the challenge We all need to play a part in encouraging retirement security We can make a difference!
