How do I compare?

By far the most common question we receive from clients is “How do I compare to others like me?”

How does my savings compare? According to the SMH, the richest 20% of households in Australia save nearly 15% of their disposable income, double the median. So if you are saving at least 7.5%, you are saving a similar amount to households around you. If you are saving nearly 15%, you saving a similar amount to the top 20% of households in Australia.

We help our clients maximise their savings whilst still maintaining their best lifestyle. They generally save around 15-20% of their disposable income through smart and tax-effective strategies.

How does my super compare? According to Adelaide Now, households have an average $177,000 in superannuation savings, but for people aged 55-64 it’s almost $500,000.

We help our clients maximise their super whilst still maintaining a comfortable lifestyle. Our successful business owners and professional families (40+) have on average $500,000 in super and our self-funded retirees (60+) have on average $1,500,000 in super. We put this down to putting in place a well-structured and fluid financial and investment plan which is reviewed regularly. If these numbers look a little scary to you, rest assured there may be ways to catch up your superannuation (for example; your retirement savings may currently be tied up in your business).
