  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Santam Insure your Future money boot camp with Maya Fisher-French and Mapalo Makhu.

    In the last two episodes we looked at saving and investing for those goals we want to achieve during our working years. But at some point, we want to kick back and retire, or at least have choices about whether we want to continue to work or not.

    One of the massive challenges of retirement funding is that we are living way past our retirement age. Some companies have a retirement age of 60 and given that many people are expected to live to nearly 90 years old – that is 30 years of retirement you need to fund.

    There are only really two ways to do this: either you start from your first paycheque and put away about 18% of your salary, or you defer retirement to age 65. But even then, you probably need to be putting away at least 15% of your salary from the age of 25 to be able to retire comfortably. Most people find they must supplement their retirement income in some way and next episode we will look at more detail around strategies at retirement, but in this podcast we discuss “how much is enough”, the importance of settling debt before retirement, how to go about investing for retirement and the various investment products.

    In this podcast we also explain the implementation of the Two Pot retirement system and how that is going to affect retirement outcomes.
