Are You Actually Ready to Retire? Or Just Sick of Work?

Retirement is not what it used to be. The old model of working full-time until 67 and then calling it quits is changing. More Australians are asking deeper questions. Am I financially ready? Do I want to stop working, or am I just tired of my current job? Do I have enough to live the life I want, or just enough to stop? These questions are about more than just money. They’re about mindset, lifestyle, and clarity.

Retirement is a Feeling, Not Just a Figure

When your property portfolio is doing its job, retirement becomes a choice, not a deadline. The right portfolio should give you:

• Predictable income that covers your lifestyle
• Manageable or minimal debt
• Properties in locations with strong growth and low vacancy
• Confidence in your long-term plan

If that doesn’t sound like your situation, you might not be ready to retire just yet—but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck. You may simply need a clearer strategy.

Are You Sick of Work, or Ready for a New Chapter?

Sometimes we confuse burnout with readiness. Before you hand in your resignation, ask yourself:

• If I had a different job or a better work-life balance, would I still want to retire?
• Do I want to stop working or start something new?
• Can I afford to make a change without compromising my long-term security?

Knowing the difference can help you decide what to do next—whether it’s downsizing your hours, switching careers, or creating a Retirement Roadmap.
