One of the most common questions any Financial Adviser is asked is “how much do I need to retire?”

There is no secret! The answer is actually within reach of anyone, if they can establish what they want to spend.

The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) provides numerous resources for the superannuation industry and the general public.

Each quarter ASFA provides a comprehensive breakdown of expenses for both a 'comfortable' and 'modest' lifestyle in retirement.

Vanguard Australia recently produced the report "How Australia Retires". A study exploring Australians' attitudes towards retirement and how they feel about this phase of life.

Vanguard's Head of Superannuation, Shannon Nutter, joined Tim to discuss the key findings of the report.

Andrew Rutter is the author of "My Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades". Andrew wrote the book after going through his own transition to retirement, finding that there was a scarcity of resources that were well aligned with Australian attitudes to lifestyle planning.

We are back! And can't wait to launch our "Plan Your Retirement Series".

"How much do I need to retire"? This is the most asked question of any financial adviser.

Of course, the answer is unique to your situation and there are many variables to consider.

Join Tim (The Grass is Greener) and Gen (The Reality Cheque) as they come together with financial tips, tricks and ideas to Kickstart your 2022.

Planning for retirement is much more than planning the financials. A healthy, meaningful and connected life normally has key "life ingredients" that together, provide purpose and balance.

This year, Tim was a guest on "A Bite from the Money Sandwich" podcast. He and host Marc Bineham discussed these key ingredients as well as the "life first" approach that Aspire Planning provides to its clients.

In today’s world, we need to look at retirement differently. Natalie Yan-Chatonsky tells us why.
