But not everyone has to think about how to manage their retirement funds, whether the
home is mortgage-free, to downsize, make a lifestyle change or are free of caring for
independents. Their choices are more limited.

For many retirees who have worked hard, there hasn't been enough left over to build a nest egg and 'super' could be the first guaranteed income they've had for years. For others, retirement might only mean reaching the age of 65 and switching benefits.

For everyone, though, it's still a milestone - so congratulations.
