Ideally, the earlier you start saving, the more your savings will grow due to the benefits of compounding interest over a long period of time. Of course, while you’re young, other priorities get in the way of focusing on your retirement; however, small commitments to retirement at these younger ages will add tens of thousands to your retirement lump sum.

As you can imagine this is a difficult question, and the answer depends on your income needs throughout retirement, your investment preferences, are you comfortable spending your capital as well as your income, and of course the difficult question of how long you’re going to live.

First and foremost, we need to ensure that you are utilising tax saving strategies such as salary sacrifice into superannuation particularly in the latter years of your working life. It is these years debt should be minimal, and the kids may be more financially dependent than they’ve ever been, giving you increase cash flow to implement superannuation salary sacrifice strategies. Secondly making sure your asset allocation of your investments are set up to give your assets the opportunity to grow over the longer term. Remember, our retirement years could last through to over age 90 and we need to make sure that we give our retirement assets the best opportunity to last the journey.
