Retirement Planning for Trade and Manual Labour Professionals

Retirement planning is critical, especially for individuals in the trade and manual labour professions. Often physically demanding, these careers may lead to earlier retirement due to the toll on one's health and well-being. For those in such occupations, it's important to start exploring retirement options sooner than typically advised, ensuring a secure and comfortable future.

Individuals in physically demanding jobs face unique challenges when it comes to retirement. The Australian Bureau of Statistics notes that the average retirement age is around 64 years, but this age might be earlier for those in trades and manual labour. Recognising the potential for an earlier retirement is key in crafting a retirement plan that accounts for financial stability and personal well-being.

Solana offers an appealing option for those over 50 still working, semi-retired or enjoying retirement. Solana Lifestyle Resorts' master-planned communities feature new homes for independent living and resort-like facilities within a community-focused environment that supports an active yet relaxing lifestyle. Each location has been purposefully designed for downsizers, empty nesters and retirees who want more freedom and social opportunities.

In areas like Mackay, where a significant portion of the population is engaged in mining and other physical jobs such as construction, manufacturing and agriculture, the need for early retirement planning is even more pronounced. The high percentage of residents involved in these industries highlights the importance of considering retirement options catering to the specific needs of such careers.
