December 2021 Newsletter
This month’s newsletter begins with information on key super changes. Recently introduced into parliament, these changes are relevant to wealth accumulators and retirees alike.
Our animation illustrates longevity risk, likely one of the greatest risks retirees can face.
Child care is a cost many families struggle with – we cover two incoming changes to the Child Care Subsidy.
Upon assessing an individual’s formal insurance application, an underwriter may issue revised terms – we discuss what revised terms are.
We also share a TED Talk, in which psychiatrist Robert Waldinger offers practical wisdom on how to build a fulfilling and long life.
Lastly, Vanessa Stoykov’s latest financial education piece explains the importance of setting investment goals and following through with a plan to achieve them.
We wish you a happy and safe festive season and look forward to seeing you in 2022.
