We will look at how your superannuation benefits interact with your estate planning objectives; What you need to know now to get the best outcomes later. This is a not to be missed webinar for members of all types of super fund.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Watch our previous webinar, Super strategies for 2025.

Q: What are the risks and benefits of retiring early and relying solely on your super fund for income? Is it possible to sustain a comfortable lifestyle without any additional sources of income?

A: Whether is is possible to retire and rely solely on superannuation as a source of income depends entirely on your superannuation balance and income needs.

A good start is to run some projections on your situation using a good quality retirement calculator. We like the TelstraSuper Retirement Planner.
