Planning for your extraordinary future
We can help you set a plan for life after work
As you start thinking about the realities of life after you leave Qantas, it’s probably time to look at putting a plan in place. Together, we can help you understand what you might need and how you can get there, providing support and advice on strategies tailored to meet your goals, accessing your super and setting up a retirement income account.
Simple steps to help you put a plan in place
How much money do you need for retirement?
From deciding when you want to call it a day to figuring out your next holiday, there’s a lot of planning that goes into retirement. One of the biggest factors influencing the answers to both these questions is money.
How to boost your balance before retirement
If you’ve run the numbers to see what kind of super balance you’ll need to help you live out your dream retirement and realised you have some catching up to do to help you get there, it’s never too late to start.
How do you know when you’ll be ready to retire?
When it gets to crunch time, it can be hard to figure out the right time to say goodbye to a decades-long career and prepare yourself both financially and emotionally for the change.
How to plan for a fulfilling life after retirement
Given how tied our work can become to our identities over time, it’s important to think about what life might look like in retirement when that tie to work and all it entails is no longer there.
What needs to be part of your retirement planning beyond super
We spend a lot of time talking about it here at Qantas Super, but your super isn’t the only thing you need to think about when it comes to your retirement planning.
