Transition to Retirement
Life speeds by so fast! It is hard to believe that after a life time of building a career and working you are reaching an age to start thinking about retirement.
One strategy worth considering is a Transition to Retirement strategy. This financial strategy allows you to work less at the same income or to work the same hours and increase your super for retirement.
Transition to Retirement is a tax effective strategy that can help boost your retirement income without the need to change your lifestyle. Importantly, this increase comes from using tax savings, rather than relying on investment returns. This means you can put some of the money that you would have otherwise paid in tax, straight into your super to benefit you now and into the future.
Why would you do this? There are 3 main benefits:
-
Boost your super/retirement savings
-
Pay less tax
-
Ease into retirement - you can reduce your work hours and still maintain your lifestyle
Common questions to consider:
-
When do I want to retire?
-

What assets will I leave to my children?
