Michael is 64 and has recently gone back into full time employment while his wife begins her retirement. Currently loving his work with a charity that reduces food waste, he’s previously had a long and varied career across government, logistics, small business ownership and being a stay-at-home dad. Having cashed out his super earlier in his working life he had to build his balance back up from zero, managing family life, a new career and health issues along the way. Through the help of a financial adviser, Michael was able to confidently plan for retirement before choosing to re-enter into the workforce.
