Hi Paul,

I have retired at 69. I am drawing a super pension. My wife 59 has reduced working to 3 days per week but will likely retire at age 60. Using the tests for age pension would we qualify for full age pensions as long as we keep our assessable assets at the $481500 regardless of how much we have in super.

I am 67 married and living in Thailand with my wife and 13 tear old Daughter.

We purchased a nice 3 x 2 home with a pool and Sauna for $120.000aud

Out monthly expenses are $1350.00 aud which includes everything.

My pension from Centerlink gives me $2,200 per month.

My superannuation of $600K has been rolled over to my pension. account.

I have to drawdown5% every year and last year my pension returned 8.7%.

I have taken the 5% out of Australia and that now affords us to travel twice a year.

So yes as a a pensioner you can have a far better quality of life out of Australia with no stress and money worries
