This week, we at Bourse seek to shed light on a question that is sometimes considered much later than it should be: ‘Am I financially prepared for retirement?’ The recently read national budget provided guidance on a coming increase in the retirement age from 60 to 65. Regardless of when you retire, ensuring you have sufficient income post-employment to (i) live comfortably and/or (ii) enjoy new experiences is a process that should begin at the earliest point possible. How much you should save and how you should save are usually specific to each individual’s personal circumstances. We provide some general guidance and information to get you started in preparing for retirement.
