flag Half of Australians lack confidence in retirement, citing high costs and inflation as major concerns.

flag Half of Australians lack confidence in their retirement finances, with 50% feeling insecure about their post-work financial future, according to multiple surveys. flag Nearly half have no formal retirement plan, and younger adults, women—especially single mothers—and those in their 40s report the lowest confidence. flag A growing number believe a "miracle" would be needed to retire securely, up from 48% in 2023, driven by inflation, rising living costs, and high interest rates. flag Despite Australia’s strong superannuation system maintaining a top-10 global ranking for retirement security, many expect to need $1.25 million or more to feel financially safe, and younger workers anticipate needing nearly $100,000 annually—nearly double current retirees’ spending. flag Experts emphasize the need for proactive financial planning to meet rising retirement expectations.
