Hi Rui, your video is concise yet covers every relevant issue in a way that can be understood by anyone researching this complex topic. A remarkable achievement and a truly valuable public service.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! I’m thrilled to hear the video was clear and helpful. Your kind words mean a lot and motivate me to keep creating valuable content! 😊
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m really glad you’re finding the channel useful, and it’s great to hear the key considerations part was especially worthwhile for you!
Love your videos Rui Shi. Very informative indeed. I'm looking forward to the video on defined benefit super you mentioned. Thanks again for the info and I enjoy your lovely smile and presenting style. 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I’m glad you’re finding the videos informative. The video on defined benefit super is on its way, so stay tuned. I really appreciate your encouragement-it means a lot! 🙂
Thanks for your comment! 😊 There’s already a video for singles, and I’m currently working on another one with even more strategies to increase the age pension. Here’s the link:ua-cam.com/video/ds_xro7li4U/v-deo.html Stay tuned!
Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.
True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.
I take guidance from an advisor Lorrie Greta Hillard To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
Thanks for putting this out, curiously inputted Lorrie on the web, spotted her consulting page and was able to schedule a call session, she actually shows a great deal of expertise.
Hi, Rui, I found your video very informative. At the beginning I felt a bit confused with a lot of numbers, however I found the information you provide are real stuff. They worth me rewind again and again till I can understand!! Thank you
Thank you so much! 😊 I really appreciate your patience and effort in rewinding to understand the content. I’m glad you found the information valuable-your support means a lot!
Thank you for the great vid and calculator. I have downloaded the spreadsheet. As we still have some income, if I insert the fortnightly income $amount into the lower threshold cell (currently $372), will the calculations adjust correctly? TIA. Grant.
Thanks, Grant! 😊 Glad you found the video and calculator helpful. This Excel template isn’t designed to adjust for fortnightly income directly in the lower threshold cell, so the calculations might not work as expected.
Can you explain it to me like im in prep. I hear the words but its like they dont sentence. And im not saying its you. I feel like the basic stuff was never taught and now its a whole different language now that im trying to maximise my super gains.
Hi! I completely understand-it can feel like a whole new language at times. I’m releasing a video this coming Monday called "An Easy Guide to Australian Age Pension." Be sure to check it out-it’s designed to cover the basics and help get you started! 😊
I'm thinking to have 1 mill in annuities, 600K in account based pension, keeping my shares invested and collecting dividends. When my wife retires about 2 years after I do, her 300K goes into the ABP. This should give us enough to live on.
Thanks for sharing your plan! 😊 It sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into structuring your retirement income. Having a mix of annuities, account-based pensions, and shares can provide diversification and stability. Wishing you and your wife all the best with your retirement plans!
Thanks 🙏🏻 I live in Thailand with my Thai wife. We don’t own a house in Australia but my wife owns our house in Thailand where we live. Will her house be exempt or counted as an asset? Cheers
You're welcome! 😊 If your principal residence is overseas and you live there permanently, it is generally considered exempt from the assets test for the Age Pension. Since you and your wife live in her house in Thailand as your principal residence, it is likely to be treated as an exempt asset by Centrelink. It's always a good idea to check directly with Centrelink or the Financial Information Service to confirm how this will apply to your specific situation. Cheers! 😊
Thanks for your comment 🙏 If you haven’t already, check out this video-it provides a detailed explanation of how investment properties are assessed. Hope it helps! 😊 ua-cam.com/video/ds_xro7li4U/v-deo.html
With a Roth IRA, contributions are made with after-tax dollars, meaning you can withdraw your contributions at any time, tax-free and penalty-free. Additionally, any investment gains can also be withdrawn tax-free and penalty-free upon meeting certain conditions. I’m currently debating whether to continue contributing or to liquidate my $338k stock portfolio-I'm at a crossroads.
For the average investor, navigating investment strategies can be challenging. In reality, professionals with the right skills and knowledge often excel in this space.
I completely agree! My Financial Advisor has helped me implement defensive strategies during this volatile period, allowing my portfolio to grow from $50K to $189K despite a turbulent market.
Although a housing market price correction appears imminent, it might be wise in the near term to shift funds from real estate to alternative asset classes like stocks or commodities such as gold. With interest rates rising significantly, economic data pointing towards a recession, and stricter mortgage lending criteria adding strain, a 40-50% reduction in prices may be essential for market stability. For individuals facing financial decisions, seeking guidance from an impartial financial professional familiar with prevailing market conditions is recommended.
I’m interested in this approach. Could you share the contact details of your advisor? I'm looking for a more effective investment strategy for my savings.
I consistently recommend Rebecca Lynne Buie as my top choice. She is well-known for her expertise in financial markets and has an impressive track record. I highly endorse her services.

Beautiful presentation. Have a question. When you say Jenny can transfer funds from her super to John’s super, while considering this is within contribution caps, is this transaction considered as a gift? Which will fall under the 5 year rule assessment??
Hi there, thanks for watching. It is great question! The $80,000 transfer from Jenny to John’s superannuation accumulation account is not treated as gifting, as the money remains within the couple’s total pool of assets. Additionally, this strategy is commonly used to reduce assessable assets and maximise Age Pension entitlements, when one spouse is under Age Pension age. It’s always advisable to confirm with a Centrelink Financial Information Service officer or a financial adviser to ensure compliance with the rules and understand the impact on entitlements.
Just a reminder to be cautious of misinformation around superannuation. Super is protected by regulations in Australia, and it’s always best to rely on trusted sources or consult a licensed professional for accurate information. 😊

If you dont take out your super in the next 5 years you will all lose it. This is fact not an opinion
