Frequently Asked Questions about Retirement
We’ve helped hundreds of families in Sydney plan for retirement and have answered some of the most common retirement planning questions here:
How much money do I need to save for retirement?
It’s a simple calculation that’s also complicated.
You need to think about three things: what age do you want to retire, where you’ll retire to, and what you’ll do in retirement? That’s the simple part, the complicated part involves the type of healthcare you want to receive, the insurance coverage you want to be protected by, what option you chose when receiving your super payments, do you have estate planning in place?
You could be retired for up to 30 years so working out a yearly cost and multiplying it is a quick way to get your calculation.
How does my income work when I retire?
There are different types of retirement income streams available, such as annuities and account-based pensions, and how they work will depend on your specific situation.
How do I create a retirement plan?
Put simply you need to know four things:
- Where you’ll be living in retirement (location and housing type)
- What you’ll be doing in retirement (part-time work, hobbies, activities, travel)
- How much the two previous points will cost
- The difference between how much your retirement will cost, and how much you’ve saved to date, divided by the number of years until you plan on retiring.
Do I really need to use a financial planner?
You don’t need to use a professional, and a lot of people find it easier to begin planning themselves before reaching out for help on the more complicated aspects.
What a professional retirement planner can provide is guidance on not only planning for your future, but putting in place a savings plan today that doesn’t take out all of the fun you can have in the years leading to retirement.
A good adviser will also stay up-to-date on the latest regulations and changes in the retirement landscape and ensure the advice that they give and have given in the past continues to generate the best returns for their clients.
