CASE STUDY #17

We Guided Their Debt-Free Path to Retirement

Meet Lucas & Steph: a late-50s couple preparing for the next chapter. When they came to us, Lucas was a high-income IT professional and Steph a university lecturer planning to stop work early due to health challenges. They had equity in their home but carried a large mortgage—and weren’t sure how to best downsize and set the stage for a strong retirement.

What We Discovered

Here’s the opportunities we uncovered in our initial review:
  • Big mortgage hurt their ability to save for retirement
  • Most of their money was disappearing without a plan
  • Most of their money was disappearing without a plan

The Strong Financial Plan We Put in Place

We partnered with Lucas & Steph to help them get debt-free, build their retirement savings, and transition into their next phase with complete clarity and confidence.

Here are a few of the key steps we helped them take:
  • Eliminated their mortgage by helping them pinpoint how to downsize strategically—freeing up income and reducing financial pressure
  • Supercharged their retirement savings by redirecting cash flow, maximising superannuation, and creating long-term growth plans
  • Supercharged their retirement savings by redirecting cash flow, maximising superannuation, and creating long-term growth plans
