Retiring comfortably in Australia just got a lot more expensive. New figures show couples now need about A$730,000 in super to fund a comfortable retirement — roughly A$40,000 more than six months ago — as living costs continue to climb. On this episode of the Bloomberg Australia Podcast, host Rebecca Jones speaks with pensions reporter Amy Bainbridge about what the new targets mean for workers decades away from retirement, how super funds are adapting to an ageing membership base, and whether new retirement products — from annuities to AI-powered advice — could reshape how Australians spend their golden years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
