At age 55, you're on the home stretch towards retirement.
At this age you're just five years from your preservation age, 10 years from accessing your superannuation regardless of whether you've stopped working or not, and 12 years away from the Age Pension.
You'll want to ensure your super fund is performing well, and that you're adding more contributions wherever you can.
You should start aiming to your debt, including your mortgage.
The downsizer contribution rule, for example, allows Australians aged 55 or older to contribute $300,000, or $600,000 for a couple, from the sale of their home into super.
The Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia calculates that a comfortable retirement will cost around $55,923 per year for singles and $78,566 for couples.
Assuming you have a $100,000 per year income and that you're aiming for a $630,000 superannuation balance, at age 55 Australians should have around $348,000 in their superannuation.
A superannuation balance of around $367,000 at age 55 should still put you on track to reach the $630,000 goal within the next 12 years.
