The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
For decades, the assumption was simple: by the time Australians reached retirement, the mortgage was gone. But that reality is changing fast.Today, more than half of Australians approaching retirement still carry housing debt—and it's reshaping how households think about superannuation, the Age Pension, and the role of the family home.In this episode, Veronica and Chris sit down with retirement specialist Harry Chemay to unpack the growing debt burden among pre-retirees and what it means for the next generation of retirees. They explore why the traditional “pay off the home before retirement” rule is breaking down, how rising property prices and refinancing behaviour have changed the way Australians use housing equity, and why more people are drawing down their super simply to clear their mortgage.Harry explains the financial trade-offs between paying off your mortgage versus preserving superannuation, and why this decision can dramatically affect long-term retirement cash flow. The conversation also dives into reverse mortgages, equity release strategies, the Age Pension means test, and why downsizing isn't always the straightforward solution many assume it to be.This episode challenges long-held assumptions about debt in retirement and highlights the need for better coordination between financial advisers, mortgage brokers, and retirement planners. Because in today's housing market, the biggest asset most Australians own—the family home—may also be the key to making retirement work.Episode Highlights01:13 – Meet Harry Chemay: Retirement and Wealth Strategy Expert01:55 – From Robo Advice Startup to Retirement Strategy Specialist03:33 – Why More Australians Are Reaching Retirement With Mortgages08:46 – Generational Shifts, Lifestyle Choices and Mortgage Refinancing10:36 – Why Retirees Are Using Super Withdrawals to Clear Housing Debt25:14 – The Trade-Off: Paying Off Your Mortgage vs Preserving Super26:22 – A Simple Cashflow Test for Retirees Carrying Mortgage Debt27:17 – Case Study: Super Withdrawal vs Equity Release Outcomes29:17 – Will Banks Start Lending More to Retirees and Older Borrowers?32:07 – Australia's $12 Trillion Housing Wealth Reality Explained38:55 – Downsizing vs Aging in Place: The Retirement Housing Debate42:04 – The Rise of New Retirement Living and Lifestyle Developments43:31 – Rising Homeownership Costs and Why Early Planning Matters46:20 – Rethinking Retirement Living: Building Your Own Community47:37 – A Real Family Story of Moving Parents Later in Life49:08 – Why Retirement Planning Needs a Holistic Advice Team52:12 – Final Takeaways on Retirement Debt, Super and HousingLinksThe growing debt burden of retiring AustraliansAbout the GuestHarry Chemay is a retirement and wealth specialist with nearly three decades of experience across financial planning, wealth management, asset consulting, fintech, and superannuation product design.

In this Australian Retirement Podcast episode, your hosts Drew Meredith, from Wattle Partners, and James O'Reilly, from Northeast Wealth break down the complete landscape of retirement income in Australia. One of the most common questions financial advisers hear is: "Where will my income actually come from in retirement?" The answer isn't simple—and that's actually a good thing. The most successful retirees don't rely on a single income source; they strategically combine multiple streams to create flexibility, tax efficiency, and security. Drew and James walk through the five main sources of retirement income: allocated pensions from your super, the Age Pension, investment income from shares and property, term deposits and savings accounts, and annuities. They explain how each works, the pros and cons of different strategies, and why having multiple income sources is crucial for managing risk and maintaining lifestyle throughout retirement. They also tackle a big question: Is property really the right asset for retirement income? The answer might surprise you.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time contains audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody. First up on today's show, Marisa interviews Wani Wandian man, longtime activist, and President of the Black Peoples Union, Kieran Stewart-Assheton, who kicks off his interview with a brief explanation of the general aims and work of the BPU as a revolutionary political organisation, and their nonconservative NO campaign in regards to the Voice to Parliament. He goes on to discuss the history of the idea of an Aboriginal advisory committee as a Liberal Party initiative to further undermine First Nations people exercising their Sovereignty, the $25-27M in donations to the Yes23 campaign by mining companies and their affiliates, and the specific kind of Treaty the BPU aims toward... not one with a colonial government who only aims to divide and conquer and further oppress, ending the interview with words of hope. There continues to be a large gap in life expectancy between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, and yet the age of access to the age pension continues to discriminate against Aboriginal people. Next up on the show, Marisa speaks with Gunditjmara woman and VACCHO CEO Jill Gallagher about the Federal Court of Australia, who has dismissed the legal challenge seeking fair and equal access to the age pension for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, failing to recognise this age pension discrimination. She goes on to discuss the prevalence of chronic illness and overrepresentation in the criminal justice system for Aboriginal people, why she supports the Voice to Parliament, changing the culture of correctional services in Victoria, and more.

There's a magic number in superannuation that allows retirees to make the most of their own money and the Age Pension. It's called the super sweet spot. This week on the Friends With Money podcast, Money's Tom Watson is joined by journalist Susan Hely to discuss how the sweet spot works. Why should pre-retirees and retires know about it? What is the sweet spot for singles and couples? How does the taper trap work? What are the benefits of the aged pension? Is it still worth having a larger super balance? #friendswithmoney #tomwatson #susanhely #superannuation Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3mV0Cbr Listen on Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3qGfsoL Listen on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3fSPI2h Website: https://moneymag.com.au Email: podcast@moneymag.com.au See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'm so excited for this one today. There's been a few potential Super changes put forth by the Albanese government lately and I wanted to get two different viewpoints on the podcast to debate the pros and cons of the changes. I also wanted to talk about Super as a high-level concept. What exactly is Super? What's the purpose of Super? Is Super fulfilling its job? etc. We have two returning guests joining in today's discussion. CIO of The Motley Fool Australia, Scott Phillips and Economist Dr Cameron Murray. I'm playing moderator between these two as they give their different opinions on some of the following topics:What is the purpose of Super? (00:03:26)Is there an alternative to the current Super system? (00:11:38)Thoughts on how we could fix the Super system (00:19:27)Do we actually need to have both Super and the Age Pension?

Rev. Bill Crews chats to Ian Henschke from National Seniors Australia about the barriers to pensioners filling skills gaps. Currently, those on the Age Pension are allowed to earn a "Work Bonus" of $300 a fortnight for a single person, or $320 a fortnight for a couple. For every dollar earned above that amount, pension payments are reduced by 50 cents on every dollar. The Work Bonus will be increased from December 1, taking it from $7,800 a year to $11,800 for this financial year. But the measure will expire on July 1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
