- New research has revealed that Aussies have been retiring at their oldest age since the early 1970s, with predictions suggesting that over the next few decades, the benchmark will be raised to 70.
Retiree Tom Tesoro joins us.

Aussies are retiring later and having to wait to get to spend their own super, yet you have politicians who can retire in their 50’s and have access to their super immediately. It so wrong.
Aussies are also living much longer than when the aged pension was introduced.
they want to keep aussies poor so aussies would be easier to control...
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.
Just try to diversify your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your investment is balanced and you don’t get to make so much losses.
It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five aiyears now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully I can get some insight to where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend with when I hear back from Melissa.
Poor planning. Sadly many don't think of retirement or financial freedom as they age. The purpose of work is not to be a slave forever.
Nothing happens by accident.
The cost of living seems to be increasing every year, making it harder to keep up.
Indeed, it's becoming quite challenging to manage expenses.
@@LeahLewis-ny9iu I've actually managed to stay ahead of the curve. I'm even contemplating early retirement.
Impressive! How did you achieve that?
@@MelissaHobbs-qm8wi She's incredibly diligent with risk management and her peddle study is spot on. I've been following her guild-lines for a while now, and I can boast six figures in returns.
Toms problem isnt the cost of living, its the fact he didnt save. People, this is the actual message. No planning, no retirement.
I was very lucky. I retired at 66 just about the time my health started to slide. Luckily don't need to think about going back to work. Busy with my own projects.
It's such a shame to hear you are finally retired from the rat race and now your health is not good...
Best years wasted slaving away..it's not really living life is it.. retirment ages should be going down not up!
Sure you can retire at 20 as long as you can support yourself and not depending on taxpayers money.
I am a 71 year old pensioner who spends 80% of my pension goes on rent and power bill and I only have one meal a day I don't drive my car because I have no money
Do you remember the song "Don't tell me your troubles I have troubles of my own".
Thailand is the solution. Thailand is good country to enjoy. Is cheap. Rent is cheap. Food and everything is cheap. Why work till you drop dead. I pay 350$ monthly rent. Cost of living is very cheap. I move to Thailand when I was 38 years old. I refuse to work till 60”.. working poor. No thank you. The beach. The beers. The girls. Is incredible beautiful in Thailand. No kids. Never married. I free. I free. I spent little money. But I enjoy my life. I am now 72”… never regret to move to Thailand. Beautiful Thailand love you Thailand. Australia is too expensive. House. Shops petrol , the most expensive is if you get married. You wife will cost you a lot. Kids too expensive. Never married no kids. I free. Good luck guys. Remember Thailand is the answer to you problem. In Thailand you free to enjoy life.
Old and lonely.
I free too. Good life Thailand .
If you have no debts and own your own home you should have no problem surviveing even on a pension. I know because i do.
Imagine being a tradie and being told u dont retire till 70
I hear you politicians don't care they for themselves huh!!!! Funny that...
If you enjoy working - age shouldn’t be the reason to retire
If you enjoy working, once retired you can always find some mischief to get up to, and if you have enough money you can do anything you want to.
Who the hell enjoys working! So many better things in life to do other than slaving to work to earn basically nothing..? Time is precious the older you get the more time is worth.
Retirement is a goal, not a destination. Don't retire too old and almost near the grave.
I intend living forever and never retiring. yahooooo!
I retired at 57. Amen. No debts, mortgage free, 32 years as a high school teacher. Feel so blessed. If you can, do it. Personal investments is key with a DB pension. 😊
I am 56 and a HS teacher. I want to retire but I am scared they will abolish aged pension in 10 years.
@ShaneChiswick even if they did do that (they wont) their will have to be some other new benefit to take its place
@@chrisj6321 I hope you are right because I am ready to retire.
I had to retire my motor home, and those tires were bloody expensive. Still it is only money, and there is plenty more where that came from. Fools and their money are soon parted, and apparently Australia is full of fools.
What will the rules around aged pension look like in 10 years do you think?
The great Australian dream is just that ....A dream.
With high immigration retirment age should be going dramatically down? NOT UP! ..with all the extra tax collected.. plus Australian mining boom and foreign owned companies paying their fair share of taxes ...Aussies should be retiring at 50 years old by now...
Life should be getting easier not harder! Especially with all the technology advancments too!
For such a desperate man to share his experiences does The Project pay him or just exploit him for ratings!?
The key is to have zero debt and no rent.
This country is broken, and unfortunately given the week and unethical leadership we have in government it’s only going to get worst from here.
Only the beginning be working till 70 pathetic.......
People are also living much longer than when the aged pension was first introduced.
Australia is not a lucky country anymore. All governments have let down Australians and pensioners
Yes!!!! So true boofheads run the country all full of it and for themselves...
Strange how this correlates with the government putting the retirement age up to 67.
Agree....They want you to keep working till you drop they don't care...
Sell the house and downsize save the marriage. If renting move in with a friend this cost of living crisis isnt getting any better. Or explore moving overseas.
move to Asia and enjoy your life no stress
OMG 🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃😩🫣👀😳🤔
