More income, less risk and a bigger legacy to pass down to your family: Can you really “have it all” when it comes to retirement planning? Yes, but this type of successful planning requires innovation.
Come with me as I examine some new thinking when it comes to your retirement finances.
For a long time, it was thought that an encyclopedia could not at once be authoritative, comprehensive and current. At least one of the three important qualities had to give. Then came the internet, and the “trilemma” of the encyclopedia disappeared. But philosophers enjoy the concept that only two out of three objectives for a single concept can be attained, and there are trilemmas posed for religious beliefs, politics, economics and even triathlons.
Depleted super needs cash boost: AIST Lachlan Maddock 25 January 2021
Close to a million workers closed or drained their super through the government’s early release scheme, and one lobby group wants to see cash handouts used to close the gap.
Analysis conducted by the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST) shows that nearly 1 million workers under 35 have either closed their super accounts or now have less than $1,000 in super due to the early release scheme. Some 73,000 Australians have also lost insurance cover linked to their account.
“While the long term impacts of COVID on the retirement savings are still uncertain, evidence shows that the financial burden of lost retirement savings will most heavily impact those least able to afford it – those already experiencing disadvantage and the many Australians who were already facing a retirement savings shortfall,” said AIST chief executive Eva Scheerlinck.

If MPs vote it through as is, the day it becomes law, migrants who made New Zealand their home under the current regime, would suddenly find themselves a decade further from qualifying. They might have been only weeks, or months away from qualifying under the 10-year rule, but at the stroke of a law-making pen, they’d have another 10 years added to their wait.
