Making the most of later life, financially and personally

Ageing doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. While much of the conversation focuses on what we lose as we get older, research shows that later life can actually be one of the most satisfying stages of all.

This edition of SASS Wise takes a broad look at how to get the most out of this chapter of life. We explore why happiness often rises after 60 and what helps it last. Because peace of mind often goes hand in hand with financial security, we also look at the rising cost of retirement and practical ways to stay in control. You’ll also find insights into super laws that may help you maximise your retirement savings, answers to common member questions, and our latest market update.

From healthcare and insurance to everyday living costs, retirement expenses are changing. We unpack what’s driving these shifts and how planning ahead and informed decisions can help you feel more confident and in control.

Taking advantage of super laws to maximise your retirement savings
