Kite Financial Services – helping you reach your lifestyle goals.
Thanks to our high standard of living and medical advances, Australians are living longer than ever before. A male retiring at age 60 will likely spend around 24 years in retirement and a female 27 years*. While this is good news, being able to enjoy such a lengthy retirement may cost more than you think.
According to the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia (ASFA) Retirement Standard benchmark, an individual seeking a comfortable lifestyle needs a yearly income of $50,981 (after tax) – for a couple the amount is $71,723^.
