💡 Living longer and with less reliance on the age pension, means you will need to do MORE than your parents to make ends meet in retirement.
A 50-year-old woman has a 87-year life expectancy. And your life expectancy keeps increasing...
Overall this is excellent news! The most precious thing in life is time, and living longer means more time to do the things you love.

It is common for people to say they won't need much money in later retirement. Your grandparents lived on the Age pension alone - and they did just fine!
BUT your grandparents probably didn't have many lifestyle optional extras that you want. Think internet, Netflix, exercise memberships, holidays and dining out more than once per year. And quality health care does cost $.
Here are retirement strategies that WILL work:
⭐𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: 20 years ago was the best time! The next best time is now.
⭐𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞: No "best" fund exists. It's all about finding the right investment option for you and choosing a good fund. Don't chase the fund with last years best returns.
⭐ 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲: getting superannuation advice isn't just about picking a fund. Making the most of it requires a strategy.
⭐ 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞: In an ideal world, DIY would be easy. But the system is complex and a financial advisor WILL be able to implement strategies you have not even thought about.
Leaving your retirement to chance with blind faith in the system means you will miss out on maximising your nest egg.
