7 Top Investments for Young Australians in 2021, Canstar They say: “Start sooner rather than later. We’ve all seen the “Compare the pair” ads where Alice and Bob both make the same salary but Alice’s super provider has a better return, and by the time they retire she has thousands more in her account than Bob. Compound interest is a strange and powerful force and over time can make a huge difference to your investment.
