I would have said it's motivation to be nice to your spouse and stay married!!!

Wait a minute.....

Hang on......

Wouldn't it be better to split up and get $470 each (as opposed to $390.50)?

Y-man,

I see it as this:

$390.50 x 2 = $781.00 p/fn for a couple in "one household" compared to $470 ($235 per week) for single person (assumed) to be living alone. Couples get an extra that $311 p/f extra over a single person and one would expect, it's cheaper for a couples to share etc.

You can do even better, you can pretend to be separated, live in the same house and claim single rate for each.
If you list now to get in department of housing you can also have a house for $80 a week. A bargain in Sydney.

Or you can trust your business acumen and increase your portfolio to a few more millions ... Much better.

Keep in mind that the aged pension is not the only pension available.
