Retirement seminars coming in 2009

The idea of retirement generally begins to enter people’s thinking during their 50’s. Retirement was once compulsory on reaching a certain age but, with a growing expectation that Australians today self fund their retirement, the concept is now more complicated. Many people in their 50’s may not feel they are financially or mentally ready to retire. They may be still meeting costs associated with children’s education and of course the dreaded mortgage. In addition, many of our clients would be concerned about their superannuation given the ongoing credit crisis and subsequent drop in value and confidence in the share market. But thanks to a wave of legislation in the past few years, there are now an increased number of avenues available for people to improve their retirement plan, super and especially their tax situation. The good news is that it is really never too late to invest in super and, with the new government rules, there’s never been a better time. If you’re 55 and still working, a transition to retirement strategy is designed to make a difference to your super in those all-important years before you retire. This strategy creates options for people wanting to reduce their working hours but maintain or supplement their income - there is no requirement to retire permanently. Importantly, it provides increased flexibility to reorganise finances, maximise income and save tax. Every worker approaching 55 should consider this strategy. To assist our clients, RFS Finance in conjunction with our planning arm RFS Wealth Creation will run information seminars in early 2009. More details will be available soon but please contact us if you would like to be added to the seminar mailing list.
