It&#8217;s about a way to keep your savings safe from falling asset prices, like a stock market crash. But the real twist on this alternative safe and boring asset is that it&#8217;s about to get a whole lot less boring.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian government has decided it wants you to buy the asset. In fact, you probably won&#8217;t even get a choice. But if you get in ahead of the tide, you&#8217;ll have everybody else&#8217;s buying wind in your sails. <\/p>\n<p>If you think it&#8217;s impossible for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyreckoning.com.au\/the-australian-government-is-scrounging-for-every-last-cent\/2012\/10\/23\/ \">Australian government<\/a> to force you to invest in something, take a look at <strong>Superannuation<\/strong>. If they can force you to invest, they can force you to invest in something specific. <\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s Former Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner saying that, <em>&#8216;it needs to be understood by players in the market that it is not a given that there will be no <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/20120704\/why-government-intervention-hinders-progress-and-innovation.html \">government intervention<\/a> on this issue.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But why would the government bother making you invest in a safe and boring asset? Well, it wouldn&#8217;t be a great look if the government forced you to invest in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyreckoning.com.au\/super-clueless-for-your-retirement\/2012\/10\/10\/ \">Super<\/a> and then your savings disappeared the next time the stock market crashes. You&#8217;d have been better off with a term deposit than Super.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, wait a minute. Didn&#8217;t that happen in the last few years? Yep, over the last 5 and 10 years the top performing balanced <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/20120112\/super-funds-are-too-complicated-you-wouldnt-understand.html \">Super Funds<\/a> pulled off a worse performance than term deposits, by our count. So where are the protesters, the occupy movement, the financial institution revolution? <\/p>\n<p>It won&#8217;t happen until the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pursuitofhappiness.com.au\/index.php\/retirement\/mainstream-media-wakes-up-on-retirement-savings\/3034\/ \">Super savers<\/a> begin running out of money. Then they&#8217;ll go to the government for help. And it will be too late.<\/p>\n<p>You, in the meantime, need to figure out how to build your wealth so you don&#8217;t land on the government&#8217;s doorstep. And profiting by getting ahead of their big asset reshuffle would be a good way to start.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that the Australian government&#8217;s asset of choice is difficult to get your hands on. It&#8217;s expensive, cumbersome and requires a high initial investment. Most Australians couldn&#8217;t tell you how the investment works. But in some cultures it&#8217;s actually the default investment over stocks.<\/p>\n<p>All this will have to change if the government wants the average Aussie buying these assets. But there is a way around these barriers today, if you want to jump in early. And that&#8217;s just the kind of opportunity we&#8217;ve been focusing on in our research over the last few years. <\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of other opportunities we&#8217;ve uncovered. Ways you can secure your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pursuitofhappiness.com.au\/index.php\/retirement\/start-your-one-dollar-saving-plan-today\/3112\/ \">savings<\/a>, make huge amounts of effortless income in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyreckoning.com.au\/the-fallback-investment-strategy-your-retirement-needs\/2012\/04\/26\/ \">retirement<\/a> and enjoy your wealth.<\/p>\n<p>But the most important discovery we&#8217;ve made is what&#8217;s wrong with the current way Australians think they can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailyreckoning.com.au\/super-clueless-for-your-retirement\/2012\/10\/10\/ \">fund their retirement<\/a>. They are on the wrong side of several powerful forces that determine who gets rich and who doesn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to retire comfortably, it&#8217;s time to get on the right side.
