Core Principles
fiscal responsibility to us means sufficient retirement funding to live comfortably with certainty of income and removal of risk whilst preserving all existing and future home equity for future needs or to leave to the family
playing a game of chance that gambles what little home equity remains after being depleted by a reverse mortgage, against the continuing health, home care needs, cost of transition to residential aged and longevity of each partner is not a retirement strategy - it's a recipe for personal distress and financial disaster at the time of greatest vulnerability

‘Spend Your Decennial Age’
Optimal Draw Down Rate in Retirement
Futureproof Advisory Board Member and Senior Actuary, John De Ravin, together with colleagues Estelle Liu, Rein van Rooyen, Paul Scully and Shang Wu, look into what is the optimal account-based pension draw down rate in retirement.
This important work develops new drawdown rules that yield improved total lifetime utility of consumption for Retirees.
Their new useful rule of thumb for single Retirees is to “Spend Your Decennial Age“.
This simply means, in your 60s draw down 6% of the beginning-of-year your account-based pension balance. In your 70s draw down 7% and in your 80s draw down 8%.
In Australia, once you hit 85 the statutory minimum drawdown rates apply.
