HERE’S WHY CHOOSING VIVACITY PROPERTY CAN BE THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR YOUR RETIREMENT

As retirement approaches, many Australians are left wondering: Am I truly prepared for this next chapter? According to recent data, many Australians face significant financial concerns as they approach retirement, with 44% retiring with mortgage debt and 74% relying heavily on the government pension. The reality is that while retirement should be a time for relaxation and enjoyment, financial and emotional uncertainty can often take centre stage.

The good news is that there are ways to plan ahead and ease into retirement with confidence. At Vivacity Property, we’ve designed pet friendly lifestyle communities that don’t just address financial concerns but also enhance your quality of life. Our innovative land lease model helps retirees unlock financial freedom, allowing them to downsize without the burden of large upfront costs like stamp duty, exit fees, or deferred management fees. All capital gains from the sale of your home are yours to keep, giving you a more secure financial base to enjoy your golden years.

But financial security is just one aspect of a fulfilling retirement. At Vivacity, we know that community and connection are essential to a happier and healthier life. Our homes at Stratford Gardens in Tahmoor and Tallowood Medowie offer serene retreats surrounded by nature, yet are designed for those looking to stay active and engaged.

THE IMPORTANCE OF LAUGHTER & FEELING CONNECTED FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AFTER 50

Laughter and feeling connected are so important to our mental health and wellbeing – especially as we age.

Research has shown that laughter is good for us physically, mentally and spiritually.  It reduces stress, increases our sense of well being and lifts our moods. There are even laughter groups to encourage people to laugh and feel good.

“When you start to laugh, it doesn’t just lighten your load mentally, it actually induces physical changes in your body.”
