Jo Crawford-Bryde2023-09-27I recently met with my financial advisor Scott Quinlan to discuss proposed plans for retirement. As always, Scott was able to set out the information, processes and options in a clear and easily understood manner. Aside from the clear and sound financial advice, what most impressed with was the time that Scott took to actually talk to me about my readiness to retire. To check that I was mentally ready to enter this next phase and transition from work. I came away from the meeting feeling valued and reaffirmed that this was the right time as all of the issues I had been pondering were discussed openly. I cannot recommend Scott highly enough. He has been a valued advisor of myself and my husband for over 15 years and his management of our retirement funds has placed in a great financial position.
KEVIN BRAY2023-08-30My Wife and I started with Scott when he was with Whittaker Macnaught and have been with him to this day. We are now retired, and self funded thanks to Scott and Solace Financial. Kevin & Lorraine Bray. 👍👌

book a consultationIt’s never too early to start planning for your retirement, and the sooner you begin, the more time you have to build a solid financial foundation. Planning early also allows for greater investment flexibility, better long-term savings growth, and increased peace of mind as you approach retirement age.
The amount of money you need for retirement is a personal thing and will vary depending on your individual circumstances. Generally speaking, it is recommended to save enough money throughout your working life to generate around 70-80% of your income annually, but this is something a financial adviser will be able to provide more personalised guidance on.
The best way to save for retirement is to start early and consistently contribute to a retirement account, such as a superannuation fund. You can also seek professional financial advice to look into diversifying investments and maximising employer contributions.
A good way of making sure your retirement income lasts is by creating a diversified investment portfolio, incorporating low-risk and high-return options. Be sure to regularly review and adjust your investment strategy as needed and implement a sustainable withdrawal rate that accounts for inflation and unexpected expenses.
