I am confused about the benefits of splitting concessional contributions. I am 49 and my wife is 40. I am a house husband with a super balance of $450,000, share portfolio of $360,000 and cash savings of $90,000. My wife earns $150,000 per year, has a negatively geared investment property, a $20,000 share portfolio and a super balance of $200,000. We do not have any children or dependants. My parents are deceased.
