I suspect that many of us are getting poorer by the day [I know I am!], and this information can help stem the tide.

Just wondering if some of you have thought about pooling your experience, connections, knowledge of the financial sytem, etc, etc to stop the slide into as feebee so adequately said "getting poorer by the day". 

As we all know it is difficult to survive on government pension. Most of us are expected to be self funded retirees and yet the govt of the day seems to be slowly chipping away at self sufficiency so can we do someting about this? A 64k question, eh!
