Bad news comes in THREES for retirees & those 700 who will retire today.

1. Retirees hit as term deposit rates tumble.

The reserve Bank has lowered its rates to the banks & so keeping your money in the bank is a MUCH less attractive option.🔦🔦🔦👂👂

 and

ANZ takes from both ends

ANZ cut deposit rates by up to 25bp on the same day it failed to pass on the RBA cut in full

Only this week I had an appointment with a son whose mother was moving into an aged care residence.

As she had a large amount of money in the bank then it actually reduced her pension income by about 2000 p.a which is almost a 10 % reduction.

The rules change on 1st July this year & usually each July after.

Does this or will this affect you or your family🤔🤔🤔🤔

There exists an opportunity before 1 July 2019 for income tested Age Pension recipients, or assets tested Age Pension recipients likely to become income tested at some time, to utilise the current means test assessment of lifetime income streams.

For these clients, and where appropriate, commencing a lifetime income stream before 1 July 2019 can provide improved Age Pension outcomes due to what is generally seen as the more favourable income test assessment available under the current means test rules

If you are like I am in those Downshifting Cruisers or InBetween years then Optimising your resources when there are so many rule changes & rates are low make absolute sense.

I read in the Australian today that ‘more Australians are transitioning into retirement over a few years, with more working past the age of 65.’

I can relate to that & there are some reasons why I do.
