The Retirement Boom That’s About To Change Australia
About this episode
Australia is heading for its biggest wealth shift in history - and it’s already begun. With over 140,000 Aussies retiring every year, we dive into how the "silver tsunami" of Baby Boomers is set to transform our economy, workforce, and financial planning industries. From aged care and superannuation to legacy planning and retirement housing models, we unpack the opportunities and challenges for both retirees and the generations following them.
