So, what does a 'comfortable retirement' actually cost these days?
ASFA (the industry body that tracks this stuff) just updated their retirement standard, and for the first time in 3 years, the 'comfortable retirement' benchmark has gone up. It's now sitting at $630,000 for a single person and $730,000 for a couple (assuming you own your home).
Comfortable doesn't mean lavish. It takes into account having private health cover, a decent car, regular holidays, and not having to think twice about the little things. Just a good, secure lifestyle.
But the real question you should be asking yourself is, "Am I on track towards it?" And that's where a proper look at your super and investments comes in.
If you're not sure where you stand, that's a conversation worth having (with us!). Remember, we're here to help.
