Ensuring Your Retirement Success
We devote the bulk of our lives to our work, we save and invest our hard earned money, and we hope to accumulate enough to retire comfortably. Once we do retire, the wealth we have accumulated must last the rest of our lives. With proper foresight and planning you can accomplish your retirement goals and maintain the lifestyle you desire, once you have stopped working.
Your plan must include a statement of what you are seeking to accomplish. Some investors are simply looking to preserve their current wealth, while others are working to reach a targeted value. Others would like to be able to leave something to their heirs.
The three main sources of income in retirement are:
- Superannuation – pension income stream and/or lump sum withdrawals
- Non-superannuation assets – returns from shares, property, cash and fixed interest
- Centrelink – age pension benefits
How to structure your retirement income stream will depend on your individual situation, so it's important you get professional advice.
