Perfect timing for this video in my circumstance. I am preparing to retire in the next 6 months and have been thinking about this very question for some time. Every bit of information I can gather is most helpful. Thankyou 😀

[@AboutRetirementTV]

happy to hear that and yes, this is a process and takes time to set it up correctly.

isn't there a risk the annuity company goes into liquidation ?

[@BarnabyBarry]

Interesting in the 🇺🇸 a state/city or Federal pension is usually a defined monthly amount for life-an annuity is usually a fixed amount of money you have to live on!

Katherine, is it possible after being retired on an Income based superannuation pension to then take savings money from, say, the previous sale of an asset and buy an annuity income, thus running the two income sources in parallel?

[@AboutRetirementTV]

Yes, this is absolutely possible,

Have you any information when pensioners will receive the one-off $500 energy rebate? Thank you.

[@AboutRetirementTV]

No, I have been trying to find it out but it appears we know it is coming, but not the date

[@day1678]

@@AboutRetirementTV I am so obliged that you took the time to respond. Thank you very much for your kindness.

Evidently, in SA at least, people will be contacted in September and will receive $125 per quarter provided they remain eligible to receive the full $500.

73 liked Great video Katherine. In this video it sounded like you can use the growth of ABP and hedge part of the risk with Annuity, is this correct?

[@AboutRetirementTV]

Absolutely 100% correct

When do you intend to retire, Katherine?
