Accounting

In this example, the couple are retired and one of them is ill and looking for a retirement home, the home is going to cost $450,000 deposit. Neither of the couple work and draw 50,000 from their super in order to stay afloat. They have 20,000 and 562,000 in super combined, have a 900,000 dollar home. They also have 10,000 worth of home contents, a 15,000 dollar vehicle, and 55,000 cash in the bank. It is important to note they have 0 debt and everything is fully paid off. Only the man will be going to the retirement home, whilst the woman will continue her part time work.
