In today’s show, Ken Raiss and I discuss the evolving landscape of retirement planning, emphasising that retirement is not an end but a new chapter that requires strategic investment and financial planning.

We look at what it means to keep your money working in retirement, how property investors should adjust — not stop — their strategy, and what you need to consider to maintain financial freedom and even grow your wealth in the years to come.

We discuss the importance of understanding longevity risk, the need for owning appreciating assets, and the role of property in retirement portfolios.

The discussion also covers common mistakes retirees make, the significance of teaching the next generation about wealth, and the necessity of having the right ownership structures to protect assets.

Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of proactive planning and adapting investment strategies to ensure financial security in retirement.
