Financial Planning Report To Mark And Susan Saunders
- December 21, 2023/ Uncategorized
Mark and Susan are 45 years of age with 3 teenaged children. Currently, Mark is a business man and Susan is a salaried employee ( teacher in a secondary school ). They have parked their surplus cash in assets worth $ 1.72 mn like their family home, car, Australian shares and risk free investments like term deposit and savings. This also includes the business assets of Mark i.e. van, office, plant and machinery of $ 410 k. They also individually have a super annuation corpus where in the case of Susan the employer contributes 9.5 % of salary. The super annuation corpus combined is $ 170k which includes $ 60 k of Mark in two funds namely S & M SMSF and AMP Super Fund which invested across shares, cash and is invested in cash, property, fixed managed fund and shares. Susan’ super fund across the S & M SMSF and Australian Catholic Super fund of $ 110, 000 is invested across Australian shares, inter shares, property, fixed interest and cash. The liabilities of the couple aggregate $ 400 k and include loans on mortgage and car. Mark and Susan will retire in the next 15 years and they are seeking our advice to analyse their current and future financial situation based on the information we have gathered and provide some suggestions for improving their long term wealth. We have been appraised that both Susan and Mark will continue their current engagement of teaching and business respectively until they retire at the age of 60 i.e. after 15 years. There is an assumption that the couple would like to retire their liabilities as soon as possible and just keep a cash balance of $ 10, 000 in their bank account until the loans are prepaid. Hence the analyses is done on the basis of
- Assuming loans are prepaid out of surplus cash generation subject to a minimum of $ 10, 000 every year AND
- Assuming the loans are paid out in the normal course of 15 years. ( the backup that the loan is for 15 years is given below during the analyses )
Initially, let us understand the liabilities and the annual payout commitments of Susan and Mark. The couple has a mortgage loan of $ 390 k and a car loan of $ 10 k aggregating $ 400 k. The rate of interest is 5.5 % flexi and the tenure is 15 years. Hence the annual equivalent installment of $ 39, 500 to 39, 850. The payment schedule of the loan is attached below.

As it can be seen from the table, the loan will be paid over 15 years at current EAI of $ 39, 500
The cash flow statement in that case assumes an accumulation of surplus money in the bank account in savings account which does not pay any interest. This will be a foolish strategy since there is a negative arbitrage of 5.5 %. The cash flow for the next 5 years ended June 2015, June 2016, June 2017, June 2018 and June 2019 are appended below ( works, H. ( 2016 ) ). ( Wikipedia. ( 2016 ) )

The loan is completely repaid in the next 7 years i.e. by 2023. This strategy is prudent since the payout of the money is not towards interest for 15 years. Interest is saved since the principal payment is accelerated in 7 years instead of paying the loan over 15 years. The minimum savings balance of $ 10, 000 is also maintained. In future, this strategy and the calculations based on this will be used to arrive at the retirement corpus

This is taken into the cash flow workings presented earlier. All expenses are increasing by CPI and income is increasing as per the rates mentioned in the question set
The cash outflow mix indicates that 36 – 40 %of their spend is on fulfilling loan obligation while 32 – 37 % is on living expenses. Tax accounts for the rest. ( Taxpayer.com.au. ( 2016 ) ).

As the couple indicated, inflation is an important factor which eats into the retirement real pension income. With the corpus of the super fund on real basis, the value of the Australian shares growing @ 6 % annually, the couple can sustain till the age of 101 i.e. for the next 41 years after retirement.

Based on the analyses, it is evident that the couple are comfortable in their retirement situation. Two of their three children are also working. Hence the responsibilities of Mark and Susan for providing for them are complete. Moreover, the couple have already purchased residential property at opportune time and are availing the capital gain. The liability on the mortgage will also be paid of in the next 7 years from the cash flow generated by the couple. The couple has prudently invested in medical insurance and hence the cost of hospitalization during aging is also taken care of. With the proceeds from the super fund and the shares, the couple can comfortably live till age 101
