Good to know

Good to know

Most people need a mix of income sources in retirement, such as investments, savings and possibly the Age Pension.

The Age Pension is means-tested, so the way you hold your assets can affect what you receive.

Planning five or more years ahead usually gives you more options than planning in the final year.

Common questions

Common questions

When should I start planning for retirement?

The earlier the better, but many people start seriously in the 10 years before they plan to stop working. That leaves time to adjust savings, debt and investments.

Can you tell me if I qualify for the Age Pension?

We can look at your circumstances and explain how the income and assets tests may apply to you, and how different choices could affect your entitlement.

What if I want to keep working part-time?

That is common. We can build a plan that combines part-time income with drawing on your savings, so you can ease into retirement.
