It is not possible to work forever so you must build a "passive" income, one that continues even when you are not working. The pension is simply not enough to enjoy retirement now, and will almost certainly reduce in the future due to the aging population.

To enjoy an income of say $40,000 per annum without working, you would need to have about $1,000,000 invested to generate the required income and cover inflation.

Even on a high income, few people could save that much, but with wise property investment, even modest income earners can achieve this amount of financial independence.

This is done by utilising the high rental return and capital growth of property in fast growing areas along with the tax deductions available on new residential investment properties. If you have an income and pay tax then you may be surprised at how little it would cost a week to get into property investment.

Also, as you go through life there are things that you want to do such as travel or pay for major events. Building up equity in property with a well designed loan allows you to redraw your money and pay for these without the problems of credit cards and personal loans. You can actually take more holidays.

You win with paying reduced tax and also build wealth through the increase in value of the property.

You owe it to yourself to find out how to achieve financial independence and take more holidays.
