Luke on 2CC – What happens to my super when I retire?

Financial Planner Luke Smith joined 2CC Talking Canberra 1206AM in Money Matters, which aired on Friday 27 October 2023.  The show today looks at sorting out the facts from the fiction when it comes to retirement: What happens to my super when I retire? In recent weeks Luke has been seeing some wrong and sometimes disadvantageous information around reaching retirement. This show seeks to provide some sound information so pre-retirees can better assess their own options.

Key topics covered include:

• When can you take money from your super?
• When you retire, do you have take money from super or start a pension straight away? No!
• Can I take a lump sum from my super?
• It’s really important you have an idea about how much you need – do you know what you need to live on in retirement?
• Can I start a pension from my super and how often can I get pension payments?
• Is there a minimum amount of pension I need to take?
• Can I still take a lump sum from a pension if I’m taking a pension?
• Do you need to be a more conservative investor in retirement?
• Are pension earnings and income tax free, including capital gains tax free?
• Luke shares his top tips around planning for retirement
• Remember seek advice if you need help. Super can be complex when you don’t deal with it every day.
