    Superannuation

    What did you do with yours when you went on Maternity Leave?

    I'd love to be able to roll it over into DH's super... but I don't think you can do that. And I absolutely hate the idea of it all just dwindling away into almost nothing over the next 12 months!

    Is there anything you can do to save it? What did you do?

    Can you get DH to do spouse contributions? (I think you get a little tax break for that at the end of the finanacial year)

    I'm thinking about this too, not for me as I've never had any kind of super to speak of, but for Shel when she becomes SAHM.

    Leasha, you are quite possibly a bit of a genius
