Retirement Coach Reveals Senior Travel Tips in Order to Retire and Travel the World

For many Baby Boomers, travelling took a back seat to raising a family and work commitments. It’s only now that the space for travelling is being created, as this generation moves closer to retirement, and seniors nearing the end of their careers are now planning to retire and travel the world.

According to retirement coach Ann Nelson, travelling is fast becoming one of the most popular activities for Australian retirees to do. But sometimes, due to short term or only basic financial planning, retirees’ travel plans end up limited or short lived. www.annnelson.com.au

“Travelling is achievable for everyone, as long as people have a financial plan and take health precautions. I always offer two really important senior travel tips to clients aiming to travel through retirement. Firstly, people should consider what kind of lifestyle they would like in retirement, and then take the steps to ensure that money is available to maintain that lifestyle,” says Ann.

“The second thing to consider is your health condition, and risks that present because of that. Do you need special accessibility? Or would extreme travel affect your wellbeing? No matter what your health looks like, you can guarantee that there’s a perfect holiday destination for you somewhere in the world; you just need to do the research first. There are even companies that organise travel groups for people living with a disability, or lone retired travellers.” www.annnelson.com.au

For those looking to retire earlier than the recommended age, the retirement coach recommends having a simple strategy in place: “to save more than you spend”. “The earlier you want to retire, the more you need to save. A guide is to put away at least 15 per cent of your income,” says Ann. “In some countries, it’s compulsory for an employer to put a portion of wages into a retirement plan for employees. In Australia, compulsory superannuation for retirement is currently 9.5 per cent of gross wages, but I always suggest people save at least 5.5 per cent on top of that if they can afford it.”
