Highlights of the show:
🌊 The wave of retirements for 2025
Bec and Gen unpack why 2025 feels like the year for retirement, with record numbers in the Epic Retirement Club sharing that they’ve worked their last full-time shift and are embracing flexible new lives as we head into Christmas. Retirement is no longer about stopping—it's about choosing what comes next.
💌 Bec’s letterbag – answering your biggest questions
Andrew: How to grow super balances strategically, maximise the $1.9M cap, and set up super for tax-effective legacies to pass on to adult children.
Arnold: After 39 years in government work, Arnold seeks ideas for transitioning from a defined benefit pension to a purposeful and energised next chapter. Bec provides the insights to get everyone thinking.
Shirley: Shirley asked if Bec could share a broad 5 year plan for moving towards retirement - for those who aren’t there yet?
