The mini Budget that’s hard to see

It’s tough coming up with some interesting and witty dialogue for this year’s mini federal budget, when it’s exactly that, mini. There are not a lot of maximums on offer for any demographic, although the growing spending on NDIS and Defence are certainly not ‘mini’. Parents may benefit from increased spending in Childcare and more self funded retirees will be able to get the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card, thanks to increased income test thresholds (now legislated on Oct 28th, 2022).

During times of volatility, some investors can be spooked and question their long-term investment strategies. Some, may find the worry too much and feel the best thing to do is pull out of the market entirely and wait on the sidelines until they feel safe to move back in. Often the emotive decision, ends up being the wrong move long-term.

Changing Careers before Retirement

Once thought of as an ‘end goal,’ retirement for many Australians now represents a new beginning – a time to learn, grow and explore. Life expectancies are on the rise and medical advances have improved our general health, giving people more time to thrive in their later years. Another game changer has been our superannuation system, which turns 30 this year.

SA Government Employees – Unique Retirement Advantage

Lachlan Harvey
While most Australians are limited to a concessional contributions cap of $30,000 per year (for 2025-26), Super SA's Triple S scheme operates under different rules.
