The Midlife Shift with Alex Brooks
#5: Free money, future-proofing and finding your feet in retirement with Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon & Kaye Fallick
How do you fund your life when the paycheques stop? For many of us, the world of superannuation and retirement planning is filled with confusing terms that make us want to ignore it completely. But what if you could make it simple?
In this episode of The Midlife Shift, host Alex Brooks talks to money expert Nicole Pedersen-McKinnon and retirement commentator Kaye Fallick for a frank and practical guide to funding your future. They explore why women are often behind the eight ball and reveal why you should think of your super as "free money" to pay more attention to it. Discover the crucial interplay between the government Age Pension and your own super savings, and why the standard retirement budget might not apply if you still have a mortgage.
This is an essential guide to help you get your financial ducks in a row for a comfortable and empowered retirement.
