Retirement planning

Retirement planning is a vital aspect of financial management, ensuring you have the resources to enjoy your retirement as you see fit. At Forest Wealth, we understand that each individual’s retirement needs are unique. Our approach involves creating a personalised plan that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.

Personalised Retirement Plans

At Forest Wealth, we believe that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work for retirement planning. Each person has different aspirations, financial situations, and risk tolerances. Our advisers take the time to understand your specific circumstances and retirement goals. By doing so, we can craft a tailored retirement plan that ensures you are well-prepared for the future.

 Understanding Income Streams

One key component of retirement planning is understanding the various income streams available. Annuities can provide a steady income, offering financial security by converting your savings into regular payments. This can be particularly beneficial for those who prefer a predictable income stream throughout their retirement.

Additionally, account-based pensions are a flexible option, allowing you to draw down your superannuation savings in a way that suits your needs. This flexibility can help you manage your finances more effectively, ensuring you have access to funds when you need them most.

 Exploring Additional Options

We will also consider other options such as the downsizer super contributions, which allow individuals aged 65 and over to make a one-off contribution to their superannuation from the proceeds of selling their home. This can be a valuable strategy for boosting your retirement savings.

Furthermore, we assess if you will be eligible for government support, such as the Age Pension, in retirement. Understanding your eligibility and how to maximise these benefits can significantly enhance your retirement income.

Leveraging Home Equity

In addition, if you are asset-rich but income-poor, we can discuss other strategies, including accessing the equity in your primary home through schemes like the Home Equity Access Scheme. This can provide additional cash flow and improve your retirement lifestyle, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable and fulfilling retirement.

Making Informed Decisions

At Forest Wealth, we help you navigate these options, ensuring you make informed decisions. Our goal is to maximise your retirement income while minimising risks, giving you peace of mind. We provide comprehensive advice and support, helping you understand the implications of each option and how they fit into your overall retirement plan.
