You've spent decades working hard, saving and investing to build your wealth. But have you given as much thought to what you actually want to do with it? For many Australians approaching retirement, the focus is on having enough money to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. But what happens when you've built more wealth than you're ever likely to need? Could you be missing opportunities to make a meaningful difference to your family, reduce future tax burdens or enjoy seeing your money put to good use?
