Paul Pellegrino is an Australian financial planner with 17 years of experience helping clients prepare for and navigate retirement. As the founder of Partners in Planning, Paul has worked with retirees, pre-retirees, business owners and families across a wide range of financial situations. Known for his straight-talking approach, Paul believes retirement planning should be practical, personal and easy to understand. His advice focuses on more than just superannuation balances. It includes income, lifestyle, aged care, Centrelink, estate planning, family pressures and the real-life decisions that can make or break a retirement plan. Paul wrote Everyone Has a Plan Until Retirement Punches Them to cut through the jargon, scare tactics and "magic number" thinking that often surrounds retirement. Drawing on real client stories and years of hands-on experience, he helps Australians think clearly about what retirement actually looks like once the pay cheques stop. He lives and works in Australia and continues to advise clients through Partners in Planning.
