Maximising your income in retirement
The time has finally come to be able to live your life. With so many things to look forward to, the last thing you want to be thinking about is whether you’ll have enough money to live the lifestyle you deserve.
You want you to enter into retirement knowing that you have enough money to live comfortably and that your hard-earned savings, superannuation and investments will last without having to modify your current lifestyle.
The Age Pension can be a very important component of your retirement income as it could potentially make your money last longer. Although the government has numerous measures in place to limit eligibility for the Age Pension, many retirees may
still qualify for a full or part pension.

Case Study
Recently, we helped one of our clients restructure their finances slightly to realise a significant increase in their fortnightly pension payments. Aged 68, Clive* was fully retired.
His wife Julia* was 64, and she had decided to stop working so they could share some of the experiences they’d been looking forward to. Clive* had been receiving a small Age Pension of around $30 a fortnight.
After assessing Clive and Julia’s goals and objectives in retirement we were able to recommend a restructure of their finances. This led to Clive’s pension increasing to $390 per fortnight, or $10,140 per annum. There were costs and other considerations due to the restructure, but the clients were over $6,000 better off this year alone due to the strategy.
*To protect the privacy of our clients, names have been changed.
