Welcome to this week's edition of Smart Investing. One of the hardest decisions for many people planning for retirement is choosing an ideal point to retire. It's a tough decision. Our lead article this week looks into the various things to consider before taking the big retirement leap, including shifting your accumulated superannuation savings into an account-based pension. Continuing on with the retirement theme, our second article explores how to apply a fundamental investment principle to significantly boost your overall superannuation balance over time. Doing so can give you the option of potentially bringing your intended retirement date forward. Lastly, we're not too far off the end of 2023 and that means there's just over six months left before the end of the current financial year. It's a great opportunity to take advantage of any carry forward unused superannuation contribution amounts you still have, if you can. We explain what they are, the rules around using them, and how to get your super ball rolling. | |
