The majority of Australians expect to fund their lifestyle in retirement from a variety of sources and not just their superannuation.

Control over one’s financial circumstances is a critical factor in the ability for an individual to enjoy a higher level of well-being in retirement.

Household Capital has purchased a home equity specialist expanding its funding offering to cover the government’s home equity access scheme.

Many retirees are not satisfied with their current circumstances while pre-retirees report they are not prepared for the end of their working lives.

Pre-retirees are growing more concerned their savings will not fully fund their retirement, but are unaware of what income products their super funds offer.

Budget changes to the income threshold for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card may allow more self-funded retirees access to it.
