Prepare for retirement……without missing out today

If you’re looking for a way to start saving for your retirement, but still enjoy your lifestyle today, you’re not alone. Recent research shows 54% of Australians aged 55-64 want the same thing. i

No doubt you already have a cashflow system in place, but perhaps it’s time to revisit it. It could be the first step to achieving your retirement goals, and really can make a difference to your bottom line.

Some of the things you can do to fine-tune your cashflow, and make sure it’s working as hard for you as possible, include:

·         Reviewing your goals

Make sure you’re clear on what you’d like to achieve now, and in retirement, so you know what you’re aiming for.

·          Reviewing your spending habits

Take a step back and look at how your money is coming in and going out of your account. This will give you a clear idea of where you can find ways to manage your expenses more tightly and add more to your savings.

·          Looking for new ways to manage your money

There are new tools and systems regularly becoming available, helping you streamline the management of your money. Do some research to find one that suits you, so you can keep on top of your money with less effort.
