While we all might have a different view of what retirement actually means, Australian superannuation legislation defines retiring as:
You’ve reached preservation age
You’ve stopped working
You don’t have any intention of being employed again in the future
In this circumstance, working is technically defined as ‘gainful employment’, which means receiving any monetary reward for working 10 or more hours per week.
However, just stopping working doesn’t mean you’ve retired, and just reaching preservation age doesn’t mean you have to retire.
You can continue to work until you choose to stop, and keep adding to your super until you’re ready to finish for good. As long as you’ve reached your preservation age, the choice is yours.
