Re: Retirement - standard of living

Our daughter lives in Sydney and doesn't plan on leaving. That's where I lived for 8...

Re: Retirement - standard of living

Surely it can't be worse than the UK who apparently get the worst state pensions in the western world. The only advantage is that it's not means tested.
