In Australia one is only allowed a certain amount before your pension is cut, I am trying to find out how much capital I am allowed before it has an affect
How much savings could I have before it affects my pension?
I have never heard of savings affecting someone's pension. A pension is money you earned and wheather you have a million dollars in the bank or what should not matter. At least for any pension I have ever heard of in the United States anyway.
It really can't just save as much as you can.
