1.03 Sweet Dreams Are Made of This - Building Your Dream Retirement

We all have a vision of what retirement could look like—slow mornings, blue skies, freedom to do what you love (and none of what you don’t). But how do you go from daydreaming to actually designing a retirement that works?   In this episode of Her Money Matters, we unpack what it takes to turn sweet dreams into reality. We’ll walk through the key questions you need to be asking right now: When will you retire? How much income will you need? (This is where we find your number.) And how much capital will you need to make that income last?   Once we’ve explored those pieces, we’ll talk about how to start building a plan that’s clear, doable, and designed just for you. Because your dream retirement shouldn’t be left to chance—it should be shaped by choice.   If you would like help planning your own retirement, I offer personalised financial coaching sessions.  You can find out more at: https://www.hermoneymatters.com.au/coaching.    So tune in and let’s start connecting your numbers to your vision—because sweet dreams are made of this.   SHOW MENTIONS:   ASFA 'Moderate Versus Comfortable Lifestyle' https://www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ASFA_Retirement_Standard_Budgets_Mar_25_quarter.pdf
