    Well, I'm 70 and fully retired for some years now. When I had my 21st birthday my mother told me to start planning my retirement then. Seemed ridiculous at the time but I took her advice and started my investment journey. Its had ups and downs but our income per year now is more than 100K and we live pretty well. A new car every 5 years, private health insurance and two overseas trips a year plus we also have enough to help out the kids with their mortgages. No govt pension of course. The secret, if there is any, is to start early to get the benefit of compounding.

    If you are not bothered about being near family and not really going to get much pension then the other consideration is to spend some of those earlier retirement years (e.g 60 to 70) living in South East Asia somewhere (Malaysia/Thailand/Vietnam etc) as your cost of living will be much lower + you get the benefit of relatively lower cost travel. a 5hr radius flight from KL gets you to a lot of cool different cultures to experience / adventure etc. You will need to have private healthcare insurance though. You may find the cost of private healthcare etc reaches a tipping point in which case it may make sense to return to Aus in those later years (75+). And if not living in Aus then you can rent your home out too which can cover a huge portion of your cost of living in S.E Asia. (I am comfortably retired : but my cost of living in SE Asia is < 30k/year and i have a really good lifestyle of keeping fit and healthy and travelling a lot in a safe friendly environment.) KL to Perth isnt too far/expensive to fly if needed.

    @SuperGuy Love your work. Can you tell us why you chose a 5%return for the example? It seems a little low. Are the figures indexed on inflation 2.5% including pensions and thresholds? Also really keen to see if you produce something like a stepped spend. For example decade 1 from 60yo 100k, decade 2 90k, decade 3 80k or such

    Thanks for the video. Would like to see more breakdown though on retirees who don't own property, that they live in (i.e not renting it out as an investment property and therefore not assessed when applying for age pension) and who are not eligible for the aged pension (exceed assets test threshold). Owning a property and not owning a property (i.e. renting) used as a primary place of residence makes a huge difference to what you need. Rent can vary of course. But a table could break that down based on rent brackets. There are many asset-rich cash-poor old age pensioners getting full pension, owning properties, that are their primary residence, in the million to millions of dollars. Whereas there are self funded retirees with much less wealth, cannot afford to own a property to live in and (therefore pay rent) but have investments and subsequent income streams that exceed the assets test thresholds for a pension or at best a greatly reduced pension, but overall are lucky to be much more than what a full old age pension amount is. Would be nice if the government recognized this by making the threshold higher for those not owning and living in their own property.

    Nice format in these videos. Thanks for sharing. A question I always have when seeing super videos is what is meant by retiring on 100k per year. 100k when? 100k now may seem sufficient but 100k in 20 years won't even cover living expenses. The disclaimer says a 2.5% rate of inflation is accou ted for but 100k is 100k. How is the decreasing value of money factored in when the 100k sum remains constant?

But as you progress to your 80s and beyond, many people completely slow down. Less travelling, etc. Therefore you would require a lot less money.

    I think the stats show something slightly different. As you reach your 80s, healthcare costs may start to increase, as will costs of living as many tasks you used to undertake yourself (e.g., cleaning, gardening) may/will need to be paid for. There are also things like taxi fees once you lose the ability to drive, etc. So it's not just a simple reduction in costs as you age.

    Most people don't understand the costs of Aged Care. They go into a retirement village thinking they will leave in a box or that they won't need care and will stay in the family home until they die. Wrong! Once you are unable to look after yourself, Aged Care is a common solution (not the only one I know) and requires minimum $500K as a deposit, plus a daily fee, which can be hundreds of dollars a day (as well as taking your full pension). OK, so maybe you've spent it all and rely on the pension only, there can be "concession" placement available if you're lucky. However, you don't know when it's going to happen and if you've been planning adequately then you are bound to have assets that are deemable. Just going through this with my father. It's heartbreaking!

    Aged care facilities that are subsidised by the government are not allowed to reject those on the aged pension with limited assets, if the facility is not fully occupied. And they can't take all your aged pension. Only about 85%, leaving some money for incidentals like newspapers, new clothing, hair styling etc. There is no obligation to pay the "deposit", which is fully refundable on leaving the facility. Residents can pay a higher daily accommodation fee instead if they don't have the full amount on entry. Been there, done that with the old man.

The village that my father has left is going to take 6 months to rennovate and also charging him monthly fees. Therefore can’t pay deposit until it sells. Also govt deems the RAD as means tested whereas while you still own the property it’s not. Double-dipping IMHO.

    When it comes to "Retirement", people always look to financial health and often neglects the fact that without physical or mental health, most of your retirement funds will be spent on care rather than on a chosen lifestyle. Having that magical figure, whatever it is, in your super/investments means nothing, if you are not in the right mind to enjoy it. Note, I said in the right mind as you don't have to be physically fit to enjoy your life, but it will be your mind that will decide whether you are having a good time of your life.

    If you do end up doing a video that talks about renting (as a couple comments have mentioned) - could you address a topic I’ve not seen discussed anywhere? That is…assuming you have somewhat of a reasonable balance in super…do you lump sum and buy a house on retirement? Would the viability change depending on different balances? etc etc. As some comments suggest…many are looking at renting. But super potentially provides the opportunity to buy a house outright, on retirement? For peace of mind alone (insurance against rent inflation) along with better pension treatment for homeowners…it seems like a wise option? But be keen to know your thoughts and any numbers you can run 👍🏻

    I wasn't aiming for any particular amount per year when I started savings in super in my 30s. Compulsory super only just started at 3% of gross income. I became self employed anyway, so it was up to myself to save in super. Most of the time I do the maximum allowed at 25k per year purely for tax advantage, reducing my gross income. With the benefit of time, the balance snowballed greatly since my mid 50s, last year exceeded my own income. I have seen too many poor retiree, living in the outskirt of Newcastle in a weatherboard home. Eating sausage and mash for their tea. They didn't have many options. This year after turning 60 I will start a transition to retirement and work less. If I have spare money I would put into my adult children's super to give them a boost.

    Every kid should receive 10k at birth-invested for life. Only accessible at 60 if you've been a Good boy and stayed off the gov nipple. Any welfare received during your working years should be deducted from this 'pension' fund. The fund cannot be inherited at death. I haven't done the math on this-just a whim. 10k would be a shitload at 7% return above inflation (aggressively invested of course).

    It's more like 1.2m but you're right. That's to get any kind of pension. The full pension qualifier is to have less than about 451k not including PPOR. The gotcha is that to get a pensioner card concession that gives you cheaper health, energy and transport etc you need to be receiving at least a part pension which is why there is a point at which, if you are fully self-funded (do not qualify for part pension) you could actually be worse off financially overall, than someone with less assets and on a part pension. I think the pensioner card concessions should be on a sliding scale in order to reduce this slightly unfair scenario. Of course - the pension is a benefit as such - it is not intended as a primary income stream if you have been working and saving for most of your career. The way to more freedom and comfort is to plan for your own independence and that means maximising your investments from an early age - compound growth is your friend and there are very few quick fixes outside of winning the lotto, inheritance, or maybe picking a great stock at the right time ;)

    Advisors often generalise that in retirement you need about 70% of your pre-retirement income to live a similar lifestyle to when working. So, if you retired after earning $140k p.a. (e.g. retiring state high school department head), you might expect to live well on $100k p.a., assuming no debts and a fully owned home and car with no need to renovate for a decade or more. Superguy suggests you would need about $2m in super. If you joined NSW Dept of Education 35 years or more ago, you're sweet because that's about the indexed tax free reversionary defined benefit pension you will receive. If you joined after that, there is no DB pension for you, so good luck finding that $2m unless you have a partner who also worked for several decades. BTW, that $140k pre-tax income is about 50% higher than most folks .

If you withdrew $150k p.a. on $2.5m you would only deplete the capital by 1% per year. or $25k.

Most of the super forecasting calculators don't let you plug in anything more than 6-7% growth. Is this realistic or are they simply being really cautious? I also see recommendations to reduce your risk profile the older you get which may explain that logic. My super has been seeing 9-10% growth on average over the years, I see no reason why I cant continue that even when in accumulation.

    We've been in a fortunate decade with a strong economy (excluding Covid blip) and strong returns. With an aggressive portfolio, you should consider the implications on your retirement if your super balance was to fall 30-40% in your first year of retirement, while you are also drawing an income from it. I think average long-term returns of 6-7% is used because retirees tend to reduce risk and aim for more certainty of outcome throughout retirement.

    Say the average price of a property is $800000; would you (if you had it), pay this amount outright for a house to avoid renting, or keep that money invested and use it to pay for your rent each year? If I had that money it'd be hard to let it all go on a house. Lots of people own homes worth well over a million, which for me is an outrageous amount of money to have invested in a bloody house. People with houses will always appear better off-but thats mostly because they were better off to begin with, and were better with money to begin with, and were also forced to 'save' into their property. Of course, its complicated. If you don't have a house, id be salary sacrificing like a madman into my super.

It also depends what sort of assets you have, but that's another discussion. Positively geared property can return more than 10%, especially over the long term. A 20% investment and a 20 year loan paid by rent can give you 10 times the original investment.

For example, If you are earning 50,000 a year from social security, then you would simply need 1M from an investment account earning 5% after taxes.

If you’re fortunate enough to have your house and car paid for at retirement you also have the equity of the house if you want to sell and downsize/relocate.

    Is a subjective question how much currency you need per year to live comfortably. I don't believe that after 70 years of age you need anywhere near this amount of dollars. I look around at all the 70 + year old people I know and very few of them do overseas holiday trips, buy new cars every few years or live a lavish lifestyle. From 60 to 70 years of age you may live it up while you still have the health to travel overseas,etc. I believe that practically after 70,expenditure shrinks a lot. I think as retirees can all stress far too much about what we believe we need in dollars & security. If you have your house paid off or sufficient passive income to pay it off, I think this is the major expense.

    My mother gets a pension how much is it... 24'k and she gets by OK, I looked at my own basic expenses and it's below 30 k, 50 to 100 k especially the latter is far too much and unrealistic as I have never actually worked in a job that gets over 100 k PA if I can still get by on a salary of 60 a year and have money left what are all these people doing with their money?Millions of older people in Australia are on the pension and they also don't have any superannuation. When you get a pension you get a concession card for transport, a cut in your bills, rego is free. It's 2.50 a day to go amywher on a bus, ferry, bus or train and the pension is indexed to inflation.do these 60 to 100 k a year people have an expensive drug habit? The average person coming up to retirement has got about 200 k in superannuation, if they retire early the super on 50 k a year is only going to last about five years. Then it would be chewing into your savings until you could get a full pension with 300 k in the bank but you can get a part pension up to 600 k I think, where your rates and other things are discounted so your money will last slightly longer and the 200 k super plus the savings will last more than 20 years, at that point when you are 85 do you think you will be wanting to drive around everywhere and burn up your remaining dough? My advise is if you retire early like at 55 you might actually get bored of hanging around by yourself and actually return to work again which happens frequently.

    OK, I had just started my adult working life when mandatory super was first introduced. I was always under the impression that at some point, the old aged pension would no longer be an option. Is this true? Why is this always factored in? Surely the old aged pension for people my age or younger should be the last gasp option.

    This makes NO sense. How can a couple with 2.5 million in super, with a return of 5%, ie, 125k, can be eligible for a pension? And given that he's talking about an income of 100k, that they have already exceeded, it makes even less than NO sense. We are on defined benefits which gives us 125k a year, which means we don't really have a "super balance" and are NOT eligible for any pension. We are eligible for the seniors health card.

    I can see how it sounds ridiculous. But the age pension referred to is the entitlements that the couple would eventually be eligible for in their very late years of retirement once their super balance has reduced to a point below the upper threshold.

    The objective of the Reserve Bank is to keep the inflation rate to between 2 and 3%. Some years it will be more and some less. Either way, whether realistic or not, what's important in the example is that we have used a real return of 2.5% p.a. (5% earnings minus 2.5% inflation). If you think a real return of 2.5% p.a. is achievable then the inflation figure can be arbitrary and irrelevant.
