In super, the ASX 200 has fallen almost 8 per cent since the beginning of March, so not yet in full correction territory, but it still hurts. Several people said they’re avoiding looking at their balances altogether.

that's certainly me. long-retired, living existing entirely from my Super [drawing a monthly pmt less than what the aged-pension would give me, by choice], & with no age-pension application made [coz i can't handle the peopling needed], if my Super ever collapsed i'd have nothing. every time over the past decade that major world-burning shitfuckery occurred & sent markets bananas, it took me several months to feel game enough to login & have a look. such an arseholic species.

‘This mess is eating our super’: Why retirees are starting to get nervous

For those in retirement or nearing it, the looming crisis spurred by the US and Israel’s war on Iran is forcing them to shelve or reschedule their plans.

@MsDropbear42 yep, it's a worry. I did log in to look at mine and it's down about 4% since the end of January. I suspect it'll have further to go. I chose the 'socially conscious' investment option so it won't get a lift from soaring fossil fuel prices or arms sales. I'm happy about that.
