Dreaming of Beautiful Retirement?
Getting ready for retirement
Superannuation is how most people save for their retirement during their working life. Employers must contribute 11% of your taxable income to your super. This is set to rise to 12% by July 2025.
If you rely on superannuation alone as your savings vehicle, unfortunately you might end up with insufficient balance to provide you with your needed retirement income once you stop working.
As a rule of thumb, most people generally require around 60 to 65% of their pre-retirement income to live comfortably.
Super is regarded as an effective and preferred way to invest for the future, due to the many tax benefits it offers.
Since 2006 Katherine has overseen my husband Andrew‘s superannuation portfolio with complete integrity. We have also sought general financial advice from her over that time and know that we can trust her to give the best advice possible.
Initially, our relationship with Katherine was at a purely business level but, over the years, we have come to know her as a trusted friend; who has my full recommendation.
