Share your retirement story

13 Apr 2026

Your experience could help others feel more confident about their own retirement journey. Whether you’re transitioning to retirement or already retired, we’d love to hear how you approached it—financially and personally—including what worked well for you, what you might do differently and any insights you have. 

Ideas to guide your story  

  • How did you decide when to retire?
  • How did you approach turning your super into retirement income? For example:
    • how a transition to retirement (TTR) income stream or other strategies played a role in your retirement planning.
    • how you manage your super so you receive a regular income in retirement while still having access to extra funds when you need it.
    • did financial advice or other assistance support your decision making?
  • Has your confidence about your retirement income changed over time?
  • What surprised you most about retirement?
  • How did you find purpose in life after leaving work?
  • What lessons did you learn along the way and what tips would you give others?
  • What do you enjoy most about retirement?

Your story could be shared on the CSC website or in a future newsletter for CSC members to read!
