Key takeaways:

  • The amount you’ll need in super depends on your lifestyle expectations, where you live, and what you want to do in retirement.
  • It’s important to factor in both expected costs (travel, hobbies) and unexpected ones (healthcare, home repairs) to avoid shortfalls.
  • Having multiple income sources (super, investments, pension) may improve flexibility rather than relying on just one.
  • Reviewing your super balance and retirement plan early gives you time to adjust contributions or strategy if needed.
