Outright home ownership is the great retirement dream
Retiring without a mortgage has a large positive impact on retirement confidence.
For decades the “Great Australian Dream” has been the general desire by most Australians just to own a home.
But that dream has morphed over time. These days it’s not just about owning a home but having the mortgage paid off either before retirement or soon after.
Disposing of shares
You can dispose of your shares in the following ways:
selling them
giving them away (gifting shares)
transferring them to a spouse as the result of a breakdown in your marriage or relationship
through share buy-backs
through mergers, takeovers and demergers
because the company goes into liquidation.
It's important you keep records of acquiring and disposing of shares.
