5 years until retirement

You're probably beginning the countdown to the day you give up work but there are a few things you need to pay particular attention to, if you are to ensure you reap the rewards of retirement.

Check how much you have saved to date and how your current lifestyle compares with your expectations in retirement. Are there any major purchases, such as a new car or large home maintenance items, that you could make now while you still have a steady income?

There are a number of ways to top up your superannuation savings.  The most appropriate method depends on your personal circumstances.

A Financial Planner can help make these decisions easier with professional financial advice that's tailored to suit your needs and achieve your financial goals.  Please contact Auswide Member Services on 1300 88 56 65 for assistance with finding a Financial Planner licensed to advise on Auswide.
