Financial Autonomy

The goal of early retirement is one many Australians aspire too.  And certainly, when thinking about achieving Financial Autonomy, retiring early is very often baked into those goals. But what is the best way to bring that goal to reality, given the uniqueness of our system – superannuation, franking credits, negative gearing, and means tested Aged Pensions, just to get you started. The approach I’m going to take you through today is a multi-phase approach that I’ve built specifically for the Australian early retirement landscape.  Its aim is to use the opportunities we have, such as franking credits and superannuation, to get you to early retirement as quickly as possible. We’ve actually built a special PDF just for this post. I’ve put all of the diagrams in there for you.  You know what they say – a picture tells a thousand words.  And I certainly think visualising this approach is helpful.  So ideally have that in front of you as you consume this episode, but if that’s not practical, then at least download
