Retirement income planning
Make a long-term financial plan
The next step is to look at how your needs might change over time. For instance, in the
first few years of retirement, you might want to travel or take up a new hobby. Later, you
may want to replace your car .
Think about how you can use your different income sources to fund the different stages of
your life. The important thing is to plan for the long term, not just the next 5 years. Seek
financial advice or speak to a Department of Human Services' Financial Information
Service officer if you are unsure what to do.
Find ways to grow your retirement income
Ask any retiree what they fear the most and chances are most will say 'running out of
money'. But there are ways to stretch your retirement income and things you can do to
make your money last as long as possible.
Get advice as early as you can

Managing your finances can be hard work even if you have some financial knowledge.
Ask for financial advice if you need help with investment strategies and to navigate our
complex tax system. Ask your adviser to explain different investment strategies, the level
of risk involved and the potential returns you can expect.

We would like to give a big
‘thank you’ to Anne Smith

Diversify your investments
With many retirees living up to 90 and beyond, it's a good idea to invest at least some of
your money in assets that will grow over time, like shares and property. This will help
ensure your capital will grow in value to keep pace with inflation and your income needs.
Spread your investments to avoid financial heartache in the future.
Manage your spending

A simple way to make your money last longer is to watch your spending. Use our budget
planner to help you save for special items and keep your expenses in check. Do you want
to splurge straight after retirement then spend 20 years living on bread and water?
Take advantage of your entitlements
Even if you don't get the age pension, you may be eligible for other benefits, such as travel
concessions, cheaper medicines and reduced council and water rates. The Seniors Card
will also give you discounts on travel and some retail services. See our list of senior's
concessions in over 55s - your money. Also see the Department of Human Service's
Commonwealth Seniors Health Card webpage for more information.
Retirement planner
Financial advice is recommended when it comes to managing your money in retirement.
By planning ahead and staying in control of your finances, you can enjoy a safe and
comfortable retirement.

After seeing the movie, I just had to read the book. There it
was, on our “Book Club” list for July—August.
Markus Zusak was born in 1975 and lives in Sydney with his
wife and family.
Death is telling the story, unusual, yes, but death tells us, “I am
in all truthfulness attempting to be cheerful. I am amiable,
agreeable, and affable, just don’t ask me to be nice !”
The book is set during the very early years of W.W.11.
Liesel Meminger, nearly 10, is on her way to foster parents Hans
and Rosa Huberman, who live in Himmel St (Heaven St) in
Molking near Munich.
By her Brother’s graveside, Liesel’s life is changed when she
picks up an object, partially hidden in the snow. It is “The
Grave Digger’s Handbook”, and it is her first act of book
thievery.
So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel learns to
read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book burnings and
the Mayor’s wife’s library. But, these are dangerous times.
When Liesel’s family hides a Jewish
fist fighter in their basement, Liesels’
world is both opened up and closed
down.

THE BOOK THIEF BY MARKUS ZUSAK
I would like to thank Esme Fricker
for starting the book club. I have had

Q. What did the lawyer name his
daughter?
A. Sue.
Before going in for surgery I
thought it would be funny if I
posted a note on myself telling
the surgeon to be careful. After
the surgery I found another note
on myself .”Anyone know where
my cell phone is????????”
An elderly couple, who had just
learned how to send text
messages on their mobile
phones: the wife was a romantic
type and the husband was more
of a no-nonsense guy.
One
afternoon the wife went out to
meet a friend for coffee. She
decided to send her husband a
romantic text message and she
wrote:
“If you are sleeping, send me
your dreams.
If you are
laughing, send me your smile. If
you are eating, send me a bite. If
you are drinking, send me a sip.
If you are crying, send me your
tears. I love you.”
The husband replies:
“I’m on the toilet.
