Planning for Retirement: Are You on Track or Guessing?

26/02/2026

Retirement can feel a long way off, yet many Australians reach it without knowing whether they are truly prepared. Having superannuation in place is important, but it is only part of the picture.

Effective retirement planning looks at how much income you may need, when you would like to retire and how long your savings are expected to last. It also considers other assets, potential lifestyle changes and how government benefits such as the Age Pension may apply.

Without a clear plan, it is easy to rely on assumptions. This can lead to unnecessary uncertainty or last-minute decisions that limit your options later on.

A retirement plan provides clarity. It helps you understand exactly where you are now and what adjustments are needed to stay on track. Small changes made early can make a meaningful difference over time.
