  • Annoying Host

    The host is patronising towards listeners and dismissive of other peoples opinions. His mild profanity is unprofessional and he constantly talks over his guest.

  • Helpful, friendly and always informative

    This is one of my top 2 podcasts on planning for retirement. I love that it covers both complex financial choices and technical issues in a simple way and the human side of retirement. Glen is a master asking simple questions in a way that brings out the best in his guests

  • Rambling fools

    These guys are uninformed and spend half the time talking about how you should spend a bunch of money to use financial advisors, and try convince you itโ€™s worth it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

431 Retiring overseas, age gaps & super drawdown, returning to work after age 60 + more
Q: Sandy asks about timing and access to TTR and whether retiring at year-end affects access to funds.
They discuss transition-to-retirement rules, minimum drawdowns, and how to coordinate TTR with ongoing work and mortgage payoff, noting that some actions are restricted to avoid gaming the system and that professional advice is essential.
431 Retiring overseas, age gaps & super drawdown, returning to work after age 60 + more
Q: Joy asks about who should draw from whose super and how Centrelink and 67-year-old rules affect pension eligibility.
The panel explains the Centrelink asset tests, the transfer balance cap, the implications of turning 67 for pension eligibility, and the possibility of keeping balances in pension phase to optimize tax, while stressing to model scenarios with a financial advisor.
431 Retiring overseas, age gaps & super drawdown, returning to work after age 60 + more
Q: Rob's question starts with the plan to retire in Southeast Asia and asks what mix of assets to buy aside from cash and how to structure investments.
The hosts suggest focusing on lifestyle vs. financial goals first, caution about healthcare and visa rules, advise to maximize super contributions before retirement, and consider separate funds to optimize tax, while recognizing the need to speak with expat-specialist advisers.
427 Defence force retirement planning: defined benefit schemes & the mistakes that cost thousands
Q: How does the tax treatment work for MSBS?
Most of the MSBS is taxed as income (untaxed for a portion up to a threshold with offsets after age 60), with some portion remaining taxable and other portions tax-free if over 60, leading to a blended tax outcome that depends on age and income levels.
427 Defence force retirement planning: defined benefit schemes & the mistakes that cost thousands
Q: Should someone in MSBS ever take a lump sum to pay off a mortgage?
While tempting, taking a lump sum to pay off a mortgage often sacrifices long-term pension security and can reduce lifetime income; it is usually better to use a combination strategy or to preserve pension income and use other funds for debt reduction.
