Here are the steps:

  1. Plan early. The sooner you know your numbers the longer you will have to bridge any funding gaps.

  2. Define Your Retirement Numbers: Calculate your expenses and adjust for retirement. Don't forget to subtract debts.

  3. Assess Your Sources of Income: Think superannuation, investments, rentals, and government support. Ensure your income will last.

  4. Budget for Travel: Work out how much it is going to cost in today's dollars.


๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐œ๐ค: If your finances fall short, consider strategies to stretch your funds:


  • Extend Your Working Life: Delay retirement to boost savings, reduce debts, and let investments grow.

  • Part-Time or Semi-Retirement: Keep working part-time for extra income, mental engagement, & social factors

  • Combine Work and Travel: If you can work remotely while exploring the world.

  • International Travel Every Other Year: Save by exploring exotic destinations biennially.

  • Seek Travel Deals: Hunt for discounts and travel during non-peak seasons. More savings, more fun!


You can make your retirement dreams a reality, even without endless money.


Get creative, know your numbers, and plan wisely.
