Retirement starts long before your last day at work.
There are certain moments in life that reshape not just your finances, but the way you live.
Starting a family, moving overseas for a job, changing careers - retirement belongs in that same category in terms of its significance.
Traditionally, retirement has been viewed as a single milestone celebrated on the day you stop working. But in reality, it's one of the longest and most significant chapters of your life - one that's being reshaped by longer life spans, evolving retirement rules and rising living costs.
A few things to think about along the way:
• Before retirement: What lifestyle are you aiming for? Review your super, debts and savings, and consider when and how you’d like to retire.
• As retirement begins: Think about where your income will come from and how to make your savings last while keeping pace with rising costs.
• As life changes: Consider whether your home, healthcare plans, will and estate arrangements still reflect your needs and wishes.
You don’t need to have every answer today. Start with a conversation, review your plan regularly and adjust it as your circumstances change.
