Retire at 60 In Australia, But Can You Survive Until 67?

Can you retire at 60 in Australia with $200,000 in super? And will your money last until you reach Age Pension age at 67? In this video, we compare two Australians retiring at 60 with the same $200,000 super balance but very different annual spending. See how retirement spending, unexpected expenses, investment returns and rising costs can affect how long your super lasts. We also explain the seven-year gap before Age Pension age, why reaching 67 doesn't automatically guarantee a full pension, and how spending less, working part-time or retiring later could help make your retirement more financially secure. If you're planning to retire early in Australia, this video will help you understand the numbers to consider before leaving work.
