Timing is crucial in retirement – plan the best years to have fun!
EXPERT ADVICE: Hannah McQueen, Financial Expert from EnableMe – Financial Personal Trainers
“Typically, your best retirement years are 65-72,” tells Hannah. “This is when the fun is going to happen because you’re still young enough to enjoy life.
“After that, your age starts to become a barrier to your options, either because you have run out of money – so you don’t have enough income – or because your health is not what it once was. “Plan to enjoy life. Design your retirement so you are working with the options to create the most you can with the time you have left. Money becomes a huge part of this process, so take ownership of your finances or get help to do so. Living a good life is about being in control of your money. Looking after your money is looking after you.”
Get your finances in order, now!
EXPERT ADVICE: Diane Maxwell, Former Retirement Commissioner
