Retirement Financial Planning: What you might not know you can still do
1. Making Sure Your Savings Will Last the Distance
One of the risks in retirement is that of outliving your savings. A retirement financial advisor can help you calculate the amount of savings you’ll likely need for funding your retirement – based on your short, medium and long-term goals.
2. Downsizing
When you reach retirement, quite commonly your home is where all your equity sits. Selling your home and downsizing is a way of freeing up cash for your retirement lifestyle, but also living a little more comfortably.
3. Estate Planning
Financial planning for retirement involves more than just having a documented Will. It ensures your wealth and legacy are passed on to others according to your wishes and your estate is properly managed, either after your passing or if you can’t continue to manage it yourself.
4. Managing Risk in the Later Years of Life
Picking the right investment option within your superannuation or other investments is important whether you’re aged 16 or 65. Your investment strategy will influence how much money you’ll have and how you will live your life in retirement. As you get closer to or are already in retirement, you might decide to reduce your level of risk, and preserving your capital may become more important.
5. Centrelink Assistance
There's a minefield of information out there in regard to social security payments. The most common issue that we see is that people don't understand the system or the qualifying requirements and don’t have the know how to structure your assets and income to maximise your entitlements.

Let’s kick start your financial journey with our retirement planning Brisbane firm.
Let Astute Guide You
At Astute Brisbane Central, we specialise in helping hard working Australians live the retirement we know they deserve, enabling them to achieve their dream through our dedicated financial planning for retirement. That's why we work with you and uncover your financial situation and create a strategic plan that enables you to live your retirement to the fullest.
You have built up your nest-egg but are still worried about what is ahead. You may be worried about how long your money may last and if there is anything you can do now to make sure your retirement is bright.
Our retirement financial advisor team will help you to prioritise your lifestyle goals and consider how much they may cost. We will be by your side when you make big decisions as your life changes. It’s about receiving the right help at the right time.
Now that your superannuation fund will no longer be added to, we will help you consider the best ways for you to draw this down to assist with your lifestyle. We will discuss with you how much investment risk you are currently taking, and whether this should be changed considering your future needs.
You may need assistance in how to qualify for the appropriate amount of Centrelink. We will help you understand what is available as well as strategic ways to get the most you are entitled to considering your goals and objectives. You may even be thinking of passing on assets or wealth early to your family. We will discuss with you the appropriate ways to do this, especially considering Centrelink ramifications.
You may wish to downsize your home. Our dedicated retirement financial planning team are helpful in discussing the Centrelink affects, and how this money can be used. Downsizing involves considering how you want in order to be able to live in an appropriate property as well as the financial impact it may have on you. You may even qualify for a top-up on your superannuation account. We can assist you in making the right decision before you choose to make the big move.
If an unexpected event occurs, like a medical event, we will make sure you have the right plans in place to help deal with being able to fund rehabilitation and to make sure finances are in order. We will also help you plan if you were to pass away so that your spouse or family is looked after. Putting a plan in place will give you more certainty that your assets are passed to the right people at the right time.
Retirement Planning Brisbane Success Stories
In Retirement
Tom and Christine had built themselves up a nice nest egg that they hoped was going to last in retirement. Tom had just retired at 65, and Christine had retired two years earlier and was a little younger.
Even though their house was now paid off, and they had some money in cash and Superannuation, they wanted to get an opinion on how to best utilise their money. Because they previously made some good decisions, they thought they might have too much money for the age pension.
We discussed with them their lifestyle goals, and how they want to spend their retirement. Time with the grand kids was high on the list as was a relaxing holiday at least on a yearly basis. They realised these things were to come at a cost and they needed to make sure they were doing things right for themselves and their family.
We helped them to restructure their assets so they could now qualify for an age pension, and also have some more certainty of income in retirement. They were also able to have the holidays they wanted and spend time with the grandkids. They even gave some money to their children to help with their kid’s school fees and a deposit for a home. They were able to include all the items they wanted in their retiring years and still be able to live in comfort knowing they had taken sensible steps toward financial planning for retirement.
We know it's difficult to get started - that's why we offer a no obligation discovery consultation with a retirement financial planning expert to help you take the first step. Start discovering wealth management solutions that fit your lifestyle. Call us on 07 3518 6923 or reach out online today!
