I lost my brother to suicide as one of the outcomes of the GFC Difficult times when pressured by an American manager to sack key workers from his special software production team and find new premises more expensive and less suitable
Given that the Thug has continually raised the Keating years & 17% interest rates as his raison d’être then it is a bit rich him saying the GFC is ancient history.
Like many people my Super took a dive but being only 10 years to retirement I switched to cash and so my losses were locked in. It happened again with Covid. Most people don't realise their market based Super is a gamble, if the market crashes your Super goes out the window.
My husband had the misfortune to suddenly die in the depths of the GFC. His superannuation and life assurance we anticipated would benefit his dependents took a nasty shock from which there was no chance of recovery. So, no, Peter Dutton, it's not ancient history!
I'm better off than many.
