If you’re thinking about selling the family home in retirement, understanding how it could boost your super, and how it might affect your Age Pension, is one of the most important decisions you can make. The right move can increase your retirement income. The wrong one could unintentionally reduce it. 

Join host Andrew Mackinnon as he sits down with CBUS Coordinator, Eammon Wolfe and CBUS Senior Education Specialist, Jeff Wallens. Together, they unpack what the Downsizer contribution is, who it benefits, and the lifestyle considerations that matter just as much as the financial ones. 

Because it’s time to shift the way you think about your Super.

The Cbus Super Shift podcast is produced for <a href="https://www.cbussuper.com.au/">Cbus Super</a> by:
<a href="https://soundcartel.com.au/">SoundCartel&nbsp;</a> +61 3 9882 8333

Do you know how much is in your Super account? It's okay if you're unsure. You're in the majority. While the idea of Superannuation can seem overwhelming, it doesn’t have to be. 

Hosted by Andrew Mackinnon, in each episode of the Cbus Super Shift Podcast, Andrew is joined by one of the many Cbus Coordinators, and an expert from the Cbus Advice Team. 

They’ll cover topics like ‘What’s enough to live well?’ ‘How to track your Super’ and ‘Planning for what you leave behind.’ 

You’ll get simple, practical steps to manage your super, and explain government initiatives and entitlements that you may very well be eligible for. 

The time is now to take action for the future you actually want. 

So, whether retirement is still a long way off or almost at your doorstep, it's time to shift the way you think about your Super.
