Now that we are living longer, and the cost of living has increased significantly, we ask retirees if they have any regrets over the timing of their retirement
As people live longer, mature age is being redefined. Far from viewing retirement as the final curtain call, a growing number of retirees see the milestone as the start of something new. It’s a chance to explore the world, pursue an adventure, learn new skills, graduate from university and celebrate the best of a whole new life stage.
Along with planning and saving for retirement, it pays to prepare your relationship for the changes ahead.
Before retirement, the focus is often on preparing our finances. After retirement, our changing priorities can come as a surprise, and often in a good way.
Housing affordability and supply is a major concern, especially for younger Australians, but many retirees are also grappling with the issue of where to live.
The rising cost of living and uncertain market outlook are prompting more people to work into their 60s and 70s, despite lingering age discrimination.
Just because many people your age are retiring doesn’t mean you have to. Whether by necessity or desire, more Australians are continuing to work for longer.
Many Australians dream of retiring overseas and some actually turn the dream into reality, but there are health and financial considerations to consider before you take the plunge.
After years of rapid change, we ask retirees and those thinking about retirement what they would do differently if they knew then what they know now.
One in six Australians over the age of 65 is experiencing some type of abuse and the main perpetrators are most likely to be their adult children.
The old definition of retirement no longer fits a new generation of older Australians who are redefining this new chapter of life, often swapping old careers for new opportunities.
Retirement planning often focuses on finances but preparing yourself emotionally and practically is just as important.
