A 'transition to retirement' (TTR) strategy lets you access some of your super and keep working.

Setting this up can be complicated, so contact your super fund or financial adviser for advice.

If you stay with the default super fund provided by your employer there’s a chance you’ll miss out on thousands in super. 

It makes sense to take a close look at your current super fund and consider whether your money could be working harder elsewhere. If you still have many years to go until you retire, there could be a way to add thousands of dollars to your final balance.

What is often a major financial asset, is also one that many people believe should be either kept in the family or its value preserved for future generations.

Whether or not the home has to be sold to pay for aged care depends on a number of factors, including who is living in it and what other financial resources or options are available to cover the potential cost of care.
