  • START HERE: How Much Super Do You Need To Retire On $100K p.a.?

    START HERE: How Much Super Do You Need To Retire On $100K p.a.?
    May 21 2026
    How much superannuation do you actually need to retire comfortably? In this Start Here episode, Canna answers a listener question from a 39-year-old who wants to retire at age 60 with an income of $100,000 per year. But here’s the catch… That $100,000 is in today’s dollars — which means in 20+ years, it could require closer to $180,000+ per year due to inflation. This episode breaks down the reality behind retirement numbers — and why so many people underestimate what they truly need. 💡 What You’ll Learn ✔ Why $100,000 today is not $100,000 in the future✔ How inflation quietly increases your retirement income needs✔ How to estimate your true retirement income target✔ The rough super balance required to fund a $100K lifestyle✔ Why $2.5 million may not be enough (depending on assumptions)✔ The importance of understanding your own lifestyle costs✔ How long your retirement savings may need to last (longevity risk)✔ The role of superannuation as an income stream (not just a balance)✔ Why reviewing your super investment strategy is critical✔ The importance of tracking your current living expenses✔ Why relying on “average retirement figures” can be misleading 🧠 Key Insight Retirement planning isn’t about chasing a number. It’s about understanding: how much you need to livehow long you need it to lastand how your money will behave over time Because a comfortable retirement is built on clarity — not assumptions. 📊 Important Considerations Covered Inflation-adjusted income planningSequence of returns riskInvestment allocation inside superLongevity planning (age 85–95+)Potential Age Pension supportThe importance of regular reviews ⚠️ Important Reminder This episode is general financial education only and does not take into account your personal circumstances.
