6 pieces of financial advice for retirement

Oct 29, 2024 | Financial Planning

Many people dream of a richer retirement, but it doesn’t happen by chance—you have to work towards it. Thankfully with early planning, informed decisions, and expert financial advice, you can pave the way to a comfortable, stress-free retirement.  

Here are six strategies to help you build wealth and enjoy a fulfilling retirement: 

1. Focus on long-term  

Building wealth takes time, and you must steadily work towards your financial goals. By consistently contributing to your savings and investments, even in small amounts, you’ll see those contributions grow into a significant nest egg over time. 

Start by being consistent with your contributions—even the smallest ones. Over time, these can accumulate and increase your overall wealth. 

2. Get financial advice  

Opportunities to grow your wealth are everywhere—you just need to take advantage of them. At LBW, we help clients identify and execute strategies to diversify their investments and maximise their financial growth, ensuring they make the most of every opportunity. 

3. Make your money work for you  

Achieving a richer retirement isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter. Investing in shares, managed funds, or property can generate passive income and long-term growth. If you’re unsure where to begin, an experienced financial advisor can help you navigate the options and make informed decisions. 

4. Manage your lifestyle 

It’s tempting to increase your spending as your income grows, but doing so can impact your long-term savings. To secure a richer retirement, focus on living within your means, not what you can afford. A little sacrifice today can make a huge difference tomorrow. 

5. Stay on top of your finances  

Life is unpredictable—marriage, children, career changes, and the economy can all impact your financial plans. Therefore, it’s crucial to regularly review your financial plan and adjust as needed to stay on track with your retirement goals. A financial advisor can help ensure your strategies remain aligned with your evolving priorities. 

6. Diversify beyond your super 

Superannuation is a great foundation for retirement, however, it shouldn’t be your only source of income. Consider diversifying with additional investments like property and shares. These investments can provide extra income and financial security and help build your overall wealth.
