2. Make additional contributions
Making extra contributions to your super is an excellent way to help your financial future. There are two ways to do this: before-tax contributions (AKA salary sacrificing, where you choose a regular amount of your income to be paid to your super account rather than your bank account) and after-tax contributions. Small, regular contributions (even just $20 a week) can make a big difference to your nest egg.
