Rounding out your retirement investments
Monday September 29, 2008
While good management of self managed super funds is an excellent aspect of setting up a comfortable retirement, there are many other investments you can make and plan for. Housing and transport are two of the most obvious supplementary investments that will directly contribute to the comfort of your retirement, but there are many more to be considered.
Insurance is a cost many people forget to factor in to their retirement lifestyles when planning their contributions to their self managed super funds. People who have not previously held health insurance can underestimate its usefulness in retirement, but as age often brings a higher likelihood of health problems, the extras that private health cover can offer could make all the difference to your retirement health. When choosing a super fund and planning the amount you will need for a comfortable retirement, do not forget to consider the costs of health insurance and other types of insurance as necessary parts of your retirement expenditure.
