Well done… You’ve made it! It’s now time to leave work and retire.
What do you do now? Are you downsizing and paying off all debt? How do you access your super and what is the best way to structure your assets for retirement? Are you eligible for the Age Pension and other Government support benefits?
If you’re considering retirement or retiring the way in which you access your superannuation and structure your retirement nest-egg could potentially mean you could run out of money much sooner that you expected.
A good retirement plan aims to allow you to fund your retirement lifestyle over the long term in a flexible and uncomplicated manner while reducing or eliminating taxation, providing a regular and reliable income stream, accessing any eligible benefits such as the Age Pension, providing cash reserves for holidays and other expenditure.
Our Retirement Planning Service provides complete advice that is focused on meeting your retirement lifestyle and financial goals, so you don’t have to worry about money and can enjoy retirement.
