Planning to retire or planning to survive retirement?

There is a significant difference!

The costs of living are constantly increasing – food, rates, power and heating, phone, rent or mortgage repayments – you name it, just covering the basic bills is getting expensive. Which means that once you retire and income reduces, keeping up with things becomes even harder.

We all want to have a nice comfortable retirement – maybe take a holiday, do some overseas travel, or visit the grandkids. These things all take time which you have plenty of in retirement and more importantly, require a lot of money. While NZ Super provides a basic level of income, at $526 / week for a couple it only takes a large vehicle repair bill or unexpected expense to create some serious financial problems. And that’s just keeping up with the bills.

KiwiSaver is a great start for retirement savings but for many of us, this just won’t be enough to cover all the extra things we want to do with our free time.
