 Has Your Retirement Nest Egg Cracked?
 
 
Are you still working and accumulating assets toward your retirement nest egg? 
 
If you answered "yes", then it is now absolutely crucial that you attend our special briefing and find out how you can keep building your wealth into retirement - despite the Government decision to halve the amount you can contribute to superannuation.
 
The recent Government rule changes reduced the amount of tax deductible super contributions and this will have a massive impact on your wealth position if you do nothing.
 
Over 50
As a result of the changes to contribution rules, a couple planning to retire in 5 years could see their retirement savings reduced by over $600,000!  And you will be paying significantly more tax along the way...
 
Under 50
As a result of the changes to contribution rules, a couple could see their retirement savings reduced by over $250,000 within 5 years!  If you compound this out over a 10 or 20 year period, the cost to your wealth position is truly frightening.  And you will not be able to avoid paying significantly more tax along the way...
 
Why the rule changes?
In the 2009 / 2010 Budget papers, the Government has estimated the increased revenue to Government by reducing the concessional contribution caps to $25,000 / $50,000 will be $625 million for the 2009 / 2010 financial year alone.  Over the next four years the increased revenue is estimated to be $2.8 billion with this figure increasing in future years.  Obviously in the current environment the Government is keen to claw some tax revenue back.
 
What can you do?
We are keen to get our clients back into the same wealth position that they would have been in, had the Government not changed the rules.  At our regional briefings, leading Financial Strategist, Kylie Wright will outline:
  • Why taking control of your cash flow is the key to long term wealth creation; and
  • 5 strategies for building wealth over the next 5 years and beyond 
If becoming and remaining financially independent is important to you,
reserve your seat today to attend one of our regional strategy briefings.
