Telephone	$
Petrol and road tolls	$

How does this fit into how much I need to save?

Before making a decision about your superannuation, you may wish to obtain financial advice from a licensed or authorised financial adviser.

Find out if you can make some weekly savings. Then, contribute some to your superannuation on a regular basis.
