A million dollars may seem like a lot of money; but what if we told you it's not?
Inflation is continuously causing the dollar value to rise. Decades ago, a million dollars would have been more than enough to retire on. This is not the case now. In fact, to put it into perspective, in today's age the average person lives off roughly $4,000 every month. So, if you were to retire with JUST $1,000,000 for the rest of your life, it would last you just short of 21 years!
Now, let's face it - no one wants to be working until they're 70. The ultimate goal for many is to retire early and reap the benefits of their working years. The average life expectancy in Australia is around the 80-85 year mark. It's predicted that the average life expectancy will increase to 100 to 120 years in coming decades with the advancements to technology.
The likelihood of being able to retire comfortably at an early age with $1 million in the bank just became unrealistic, didn't it?
What About The Government Pension?
Currently, the government pension provides retirees between $1320 to $1760 a month. Those figures are also dependant on whether you're a single person or a couple. Either way, this is still way below the average $4,000 a month you need to live a comfortable lifestyle.
If you're a late Millennial or Gen Z, you can basically forget about the retirement pension. We have superannuation for that, but even that's not going to be enough. The average superannuation balance for male of the 64-69 age bracket is $384,000 and it's $313,000 for females.
It's Not All Doom and Gloom....Right?
By now, we'd be surprised if you chest hasn't dropped into your stomach.
Though, we're here to let you know that it's not all bad. In fact, there are ways that you can retire early and comfortably to live a fulfilling retirement. All while you try to set up your loved ones for life. We're going to explain how.
