7 age pension traps to avoid

After a lifetime of hard work, it’s important you maximise your entitlements in retirement. So you need to structure your finances carefully to make sure you don’t lose your age pension. After all, you’ve earned it.

Roughly 500,000 Australians plan to retire in the next 5 years.
