Given the recent market volatility and economic uncertainty, some people may be feeling less confident when it comes to their retirement planning.
Some people find themselves questioning if they will in fact have enough funds to retire when they would like to.
Or wondering if they’ll have enough resources in retirement to continue living a comfortable lifestyle, or the lifestyle they imagined for themselves once they’d finished working.
If this is how you are feeling, you may not be alone.
The AustralianSuper Monash University Retirement Confidence Index (RCI) is an annual survey that looks to gain an in-depth understanding of Australians’ thoughts, behaviours and feelings as they approach or experience retirement.
The Retirement Confidence Index is the first study of its kind - commencing in 2017 and set to continue until 2026 – and in 2022 it found that the average retirement confidence score was66 out of 100,a score which considers the following factors:
66 out of 100,
1. Financial awareness and skills
2. Health and wellbeing
3. Social factors
4. Retirement awareness and planning
