The moments that count‘I had to consider every dollar’: Kathryn’s path to semi-retirement
With a long career in the world of performing arts, Kathryn often faced times of financial stress with short-term contracts, unpaid gigs, and a mortgage she struggled to keep on top of. Her super wasn’t top of mind until she realised she needed to be able to support herself without relying on anyone else.
Now, she’s come out the other side – enjoying her semi-retirement with a paid-off home and casual work that brings her joy.
