‘Under pressure:' Young Aussies over-estimate the bank of mum and dad
Younger Australians are over-estimating their inheritance as cost-of-living and stagnant wages means they need more than older Australians will be able to give them. New data released by Colonial First State shows Australians aged between 18 and 29 expect to inherit a whopping $525,000 on average, when the family home and leftover super is factored in. These high expectations come as younger Australians look to the older generations to help secure their financial future. But a combination of rising aged care costs, changing government regulations in the space and the sheer longevity of older people means this optimism around how much they will inherit is 'misplaced.' CFS head of technical services Craig Day warned these high inheritance expectations will come 'under pressure'. 'When you think about what older Australians are staring down the barrel of including longevity and rising aged care cost, this ($525,000) expectation is going to come under a lot of pressure,' he told NewsWire. 'A lot of the assets that are earmarked to be paid out as an inheritance may in the future be needed elsewhere.' CFS says most older Australians intend to leave something behind, but many underestimate just how much they will have left. The family home, vehicles and any remaining superannuation top the list to be passed down to the kids, but investment portfolios and other property have largely been earmarked for retirement income. CFS chief executive of superannuation Kelly Power said young Australians also need the money. 'Young people are increasingly relying on the wealth of their parents or grandparents due to rising living costs, stagnant wage growth and housing pressures,' she said. 'At the same time, older generations are navigating the complexities of retirement planning. 'They want to support their families while ensuring their own financial security. Mr Day urged older and younger Australians to openly talk about their financial futures. 'It's important that young and old can discuss their expectations and plans openly. By having these conversations early, families can ensure that everyone is on the same page and can make informed decisions that align with their values and goals,' he said. 'It's why we're saying it's really important for families to have these conversations so they don't get to the point where it's oh bugger, I was expecting this much to pay off my mortgage before I started saving for my retirement but there's not much left.' Mr Day also said younger Australians should look at their retirement needs as early as possible, even though 'the realities of life' including cost of living pressures can make it harder to think long-term. 'It's never too early to start planning for retirement,' he said. 'The sooner you plan, the easier it becomes because you get the benefit of that compounding big snowball rolling and it helps you achieve your objectives sooner.'

The Australian Wine Club: Classic cabernet sauvignon from Claymore, Hungerford Hill, Allinda and Byron & Harold
If there's one thing Carissa Major has learnt in a lifelong career in wine, it's the need to seize the moment when an opportunity – or a life-threatening challenge – pops into view. You make certain wines and become known for it, you build a reputation for a particular style, but then the chance to do something quite different comes along – or a piece of personal news you really weren't expecting (more on that shortly). Either way, you go for it and hope that fortune ends up favouring your side of the equation. It's why almost a decade ago Carissa walked into the office of Claymore Wines owner Anura Nitchingham – her boss now for almost 20 years – and told him they just had to buy a couple of tonnes of top-notch sangiovese and tempranillo grapes she had come across and branch out into completely different styles. 'It was meant to be a one-off,' Carissa says, laughing. Except she did the same thing when a similarly small batch of reserve cabernet sauvignon grapes became available unexpectedly. That was also meant to be a single iteration but has become Claymore's Black Magic Woman Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon that's made in years when the fruit practically demands it. The 2022 iteration (with a usual retail price of $50) is part of this week's special offer case from The Australian Wine Club, a mix of cabernets spanning Australia from coast to coast – including the gold medal-winning 2022 Hungerford Hill Hilltops Cabernet Malbec. Add to that the 95-point rated Allinda Yarra Valley Cabernet blend and the 2021 Byron & Harold Rags to Riches Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, and the temptation to seize this particular opportunity is obvious. Claymore winemaker Carissa Major (centre) with friends in Clare Valley 'Often it's about a parcel of wine almost telling us we have to make a wine to reflect the beauty of the site,' Carissa tells us. 'With the cabernet now, it's really small batch, we're talking about 2500 to maximum 3500 litres. 'It has to have that extra depth of flavour that we're chasing in the vine, an extra level of richness and complexity in that primary fruit profile.' You can hear her pride in what those cabernet sauvignon grapes have come to produce. There's pride also when she talks about the unexpected business relationship she helped Nitchingham build with his beloved Liverpool FC, thanks to a chance meeting arranged by an Adelaide United fan. Unexpected situations arise, in other words, and you have to pivot – even when things are not positive. Like the phone call Carissa got in 2022 to receive a diagnosis of breast cancer. Her ultimate response was gratitude – for the advances made in our understanding of and treatment for that disease. 'My former mother-in-law, who I was very close to, ended up passing away from exactly the same breast cancer I had but 20 years earlier, and her outcomes were so poor compared to what mine were because of the funding of research in that space.' The irony is that Carissa had helped fundraise for breast cancer research through Claymore before discovering she had it. 'The incidence of re-occurrence in my mother in law's day were so high, I watched the anxiety that brought on,' she says. 'I've only had one review, my next is in October. But I'm like, if it's negative news I know what we need to do, I'll just jump back on the horse and we go again. 'And if I can use my little platform here or my personal connections to put a bit of extra money in those (research) coffers, I will absolutely do it.' Claymore Wines Black Magic Woman Clare Valley Reserve Cabernet 2022 The dark ruby that glints in the glass is a perfect primer for the mulberry, plum and blackcurrant that dominate the nose along with hints of chocolate and aniseed. From the first sip it's imbued with Clare Valley elegance, with more mulberry, cassis and chocolate in a velvety-soft palate and lingering finish. 14.5 per cent alc, RRP $50 a bottle. SPECIALS $41.99 in any dozen, $21.99 in our cabernet sauvignon dozen. Hungerford Hill Hilltops Cabernet Malbec 2022 What a pairing this is, delivering an intense nose full of menthol freshness, capsicum and bay leaf, some blackcurrant and blackberry, even a sprinkle of spice. The palate is soft, juicy and fruity with blueberry, cassis and vanilla notes amid a vibrant acidity. With structure from the cabernet and a roundedness from the malbec, there's even a touch of dark chocolate. 93 points, James Halliday. 13.5 per cent alc, RRP $50 a bottle. SPECIALS $39.99 in any dozen, $21.99 in our cabernet sauvignon dozen. Allinda Yarra Valley Cabernets 2018 The ruby hue and the hints of dried fruit on the nose underline the years this has spent maturing – certainly there's much to savour on the nose immediately, with blackberry, chocolate, leather and pencil shavings coming through. More blackcurrant on the palate segues to a juicy acidity, splashed with sour cherry, and on to a long, fresh finish. 95 points, Wine Orbit. 13 per cent alc, RRP $30 a bottle. SPECIALS $24.99 in any dozen, $21.99 in our cabernet sauvignon dozen. Byron & Harold Rags to Riches Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 This is why these cases are intriguing – a more savoury profile than the others, with herby, earthy notes and spice as well as red and black fruits. The palate delivers beautiful fruit and a medium weight with soft tannins, perfectly bookended with a final savoury edge of leather and pan juices in a long finish. 92 points, Wine Orbit. 13.8 per cent alc, RRP $32 a bottle. SPECIALS $25.99 in any dozen, $21.99 in our cabernet sauvignon dozen. CABERNET SAUVIGNON DOZEN Three bottles of each wine above for $21.99 a bottle. SAVE $222. Order online or phone 1300 765 359 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm AEST and quote 'ACCJ'. Deals are available only while stocks last.

Young Aussie ditches Sydney, moves to outback Queensland for ‘financial gap year'
A young Australian has revealed the moment he decided to embark on a 'financial gap year', leaving behind his corporate job in Sydney and moving to outback Queensland. A month ago, Tim Abbott was living a life many young professionals could relate to. He had built a career in the digital marketing space, having worked his way up in the industry over the past 10 years, and was earning what many would consider 'good money'. He was renting a room in a share house and even managed to break into the property market, buying an apartment that he leased out. The 31-year-old had no credit card debt, no car loan and no student debt. On paper, Mr Abbott should have been well on his way to financial freedom. But the reality was quite different. While he was earning a six-figure salary, his wage was not growing fast enough to keep up with the rising cost of living. He got to the point where he realised his money 'used to go so much further', but things had started to stall. 'I just feel like everyone is feeling a pinch, and everyone's tightening up in order to either save for their future or just to get by,' he told 'It's a conversation that's being had by everyone. I don't know anyone who's not talking about this at the moment.' Over a three-year period, his rent had doubled, seeing him fork out $600 a week, not including energy, water or internet bills. Mr Abbott calculated that he was spending close to $40,000 a year on rent. Even his investment property, which he thought would be his 'golden ticket' to growing his finances, wasn't turning out the way he envisioned. He was being stung with brutal strata fees and the money he was receiving in rent wasn't enough to cover his mortgage repayments. Eventually, Mr Abbott asked himself, 'why am I putting all this time and energy into a life I ultimately don't want?' So, he decided to make a change. His friend lives and works on a property in rural Queensland and mentioned there was a position available helping out on the farm. The 31-year-old quit his job, packed up his life and moved almost 13 hours away, going from the hustle and bustle of city life to living and working on a farm about 570km west of Brisbane, where the closest town has 500 residents. Mr Abbott is just over a month in to his new life and he is already shocked by how much money he has saved. He is working more and, as a result, his salary is slightly higher than what he was earning in Sydney, but he says the real game changer has been his cost of living expenses, which he estimates have decreased by 75 to 80 per cent. 'It's a very different lifestyle. It's not so much the money you make, but also the money you save, because there's nowhere to spend it,' he said. 'You're not getting two coffees a day, you're not going out for lunch, you're not ordering Uber Eats, so the money that comes into my account stays there. 'It just feels like a bit of a parallel universe. It feels like a cheat code, almost.' His accommodation costs are all baked into his work contract, so last month he spent a total of $220, which was the cost of his groceries. 'It costs that much to breathe (in Sydney). It's crazy,' Mr Abbott said. For anyone considering a sea change, the young Aussie can't recommend rural living enough, noting 'there's a lot of work out here'. 'If you don't mind peace and quiet, or that sort of living, I highly endorse it,' he said. Mr Abbott's goal for his financial gap year is to save $100,000, which he feels confident he will be able to achieve. Eventually, he hopes to be able to buy his own home with a hobby farm 'somewhere warm', but, at the moment, he isn't in a huge rush. 'I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams that I'd be driving a tractor or living where I'm living. So, who knows what the future holds?' he said. 'But I do know that I wasn't going to be able to achieve this if the money that was coming in was going immediately out.'
