How much capital do you need for a fulfilling retirement?

In this episode, we follow up last week’s income chat by stepping you through exactly how to figure out the nest egg that will fund the retirement you want, for as long as you need it.

Rob explains why average numbers just don’t cut it and helps you go beyond statistics with a practical, personalised approach.

You’ll get clear guidance on all the real factors that matter: your income targets, potential investment returns, legacy intentions, home plans, Centrelink eligibility, and any expected inheritances.

Discover how to balance your goals with your actual resources, see common trade-offs (like housing changes or working longer), and use simple tools and examples to model your own plan. Make your retirement plan work for you, with confidence and clarity, not just the averages.

Each week on the Runway to Retirement Podcast we’ll explore what retirement really means for you. Whether you are just starting to plan or already well on your way, we’re here to share insights and perspectives that help you feel confident about your future.
