Downsizing and your Age Pension

Описание: If you’re thinking about selling the family home in retirement, understanding how it could boost your super, and how it might affect your Age Pension, is one of the most important decisions you can make. The right move can increase your retirement income. The wrong one could unintentionally reduce it.


Join host Andrew Mackinnon as he sits down with Cbus Coordinator Eammon Wolfe and Cbus Senior Education Specialist Jeff Wallens. Together, they unpack what the Downsizer contribution is, who it benefits, and the lifestyle considerations that matter just as much as the financial ones.


Because it’s time to shift the way you think about your Super.
