Quiz preview

Increasing saving with pay rises means:

Waiting until you earn above 500000 in local currency/month before increasing pension contributions
Spending all of any pay rise immediately since you have earned the lifestyle improvement
Reducing retirement contributions temporarily after a pay rise to enjoy higher take-home pay
Directing a portion of any salary increase toward retirement saving before adjusting lifestyle

Your salary increases by 20000 in local currency/month. Directing half of this to your pension means:

Your employer must match the increased contribution at no additional cost to them
Your pension grows faster while your lifestyle also improves with the other half
Your tax liability increases since all pension contributions are fully taxed
You lose 10000 in local currency per month of income since pension money is inaccessible
