@wealth.with.tom: Age Pension asset limits have increased — and this could mean more income in retirement without changing anything. A lot of people think the pension is all-or-nothing… it’s not. Even if you’re over the threshold, you can still receive a part pension and small changes to the limits can bring you back into eligibility or increase what you receive. This is where understanding the rules around Centrelink can make a real difference to your retirement income. #agepension #centrelink #retirementplanning #australianfinance #superannuation

You should mention that you cant just hold 321500 all in cash 👈 it's more like 250000 max cash and rest in other assets

our home is on 10 acres, Im on aged pension & wife on job seeker as too sick to work fulltime. If we were to sell we have to pay cgt on 5 acres even though land is on one deed & our house sits in middle of property. Weird setup & will cost us to sell

There is no incentive to save…the government will take as much from you as they can..weather it’s from your pension or even if you don’t qualify for pension.

I own 5% of the home I live in. I guess I’m still classified as a homeowner? Will the limits that you stated still apply to me.? I’m a single person.

So if they are going to means test us as a couple then shouldn’t we be able to combine our super whilst we are still working for bigger compounding interest returns. It’s certainly not to protect you from divorce/seperation because super goes into the pool to be divided up in a separation.
