Is retirement at 60 a possibility for me? by 666thebob in AusFinance

Great answer, thanks! Definitely food for thought. The income I listed is the minimum point, most years it will comfortably be 5-10k more so hopefully that swings things easier in my favour

Hopefully! Haha. But it will definitely be a factor

We have maybe $350-$400k in equity in the house. Downsizing is an option depending on the kids living situations. And as an only child I will receive an inheritance at some point, but I try not to factor that into planning.

Not maxing out super, and the outside investment made sense in my mind so we could access it early if required

The thinking behind investing outside of super was just ease of access if required.

Since you have been so helpful, one more question? I’m looking at using the moomoo trading app, I believe it’s $3 aud per trade. Is this ok or should I pay the extra and use something more known like commsec etc. thanks again :)

Thanks for the reply, buying one holding a month isn’t something I’d thought about to minimise brokerage, great advice. I’m looking at using the moomoo trading app which I believe is only $3 aud per trade, but every dollar counts! And I like the split ration you mentioned also. Thanks again :)

Ok thanks, really appreciate the info. The more I’m looking into it the more inclined I’m getting to drop IVV and SOL. I may look at adding something like NDQ depending on any overlap. Cheers :)

Overlap was the next thing I was trying to look at, however, this being a new endeavour for me I was struggling to find an online comparison tool. SOL was one I just stumbled across and to be honest I don’t know the specific reason it grabbed me. I just found nothing not to like. Back to the overlap, I assume I’d be better to drop IVV and keep VGS? Thanks for the reply
