Let Astute Guide You Through Pre Retirement Financial Planning
You have worked hard so far and are closing in on the next part of your life. You have built up what you hope is a nest-egg that will last, but are still worried about what is ahead. These years are where you have built up most of the money you will have for retirement. Your financial and family responsibilities may even be reducing, as the children have moved on. You may be worried about how long your money may last you and are there any things you can do now to give yourself a better chance at a comfortable retirement.
Our pre retirement financial planning advisors will help you to prioritise your financial and lifestyle goals. We will help you make a written plan that considers the amount of work you plan on doing now, and getting the most out of these years financially.
Reduce Debt
At Astute we can assist with helping you reduce your remaining debt. Hopefully, these are lower than your younger years and we will make a plan so they can be removed or significantly reduced by retirement. This will involve looking at your cash flow to see if there are ways you can re-purpose your money for better outcomes.
Understand Your Priorities
We can also assist with helping you prioritising your future goals and concerns. We will sit down and make a plan that considers all the things you are worried about now, and also help you consider the future. We will be by your side when you make these decisions as your life changes. It’s about receiving the right help at the right time.
Elevate Your Super
Often forgotten about but we make sure that the risk you are taking in your superannuation fund and what type of contributions you are making.

We will make sure you understand what this big assets means for you now and in the future, and may make changes to suit upcoming retirement.

Success Stories
How Gary & Sandra Benefited From Pre-Retirement Financial Planning
Gary and Sandra came to us concerned about their retirement plans and whether they are doing the most they can to boost retirement funds. They had just turned 60 years of age and going to work for another five years or so.
We discussed with them their lifestyle goals, and how they want to spend their retirement. Things like time with grand kids, small or big holidays, a future surgery, and a small renovation to entertain friends easier were discussed. These were all going to cost money and they needed to make sure they were doing things right at that stage so they were best set up for the future.
We helped them with pre retirement financial planning where they began partially drawing money from superannuation whilst also contributing other money for the future. This would boost their retirement benefits for when they retire and really want to use their money. A great result was also that it didn’t affect their lifestyle or cash flow at the time.
Gary and Sandra are now retired and spending their time together doing the things they hoped.
We know it's difficult to get started, that's why we offer a no obligation discovery chat to get the ball rolling. To set yourself up to enjoy the retirement you deserve, contact Astute Brisbane Central for meaningful lifetime financial advice.
