Retirement living explained

Welcome to the 26 September 2008 Friday Bulletin

Making the choice of where to live later in life is made incredibly difficult by the minefield of legal, financial and emotional issues involved. In Looking through the legal haze and finding the village of your choice, lawyers, Matthew Mallos and Arthur Koumoukelis have highlighted some of the legal issues which must be considered when planning a move to a retirement village. By the time you reach retirement you may not have managed to pay off the mortgage on your home. This is the dilemma which AboutSeniors’ subscriber Rose is facing. Another hurdle to overcome when considering downsizing or moving to a retirement village is the size of the stamp duty. A recent Parliamentary Inquiry has highlighted the need to consider stamp duty exemptions for those downsizing from their primary residence.
Drew, our AboutSeniors’ webmaster keeps us up to date with the world of technology by sharing how to master Microsoft Outlook. Enjoy our Friday trivia for a bit of fun and try Puffaloonies for a great snack this weekend.

Enjoy a great weekend

Stamp duty

The amount of stamp duty that needs to be paid when moving to a smaller home or retirement village later in life can often be a barrier to achieving your goal of a contented retirement.

Finding lost files

Many of us receive hundreds of emails every year, and file away the important ones in folders, but when it comes time to find them, we have forgotten where they are. Webmaster Drew shows us the quick and easy way to find those lost files.
