Can you really afford to retire before 80???

In this week’s Money Bootcamp, my co-host Maya Fisher-French and I unpack the  reality that most South Africans can only afford to retire comfortably at 80 — if at all.

We break down what it really takes to retire by 65, why so many fall short, and how to turn things around — from saving earlier and smarter, to building multiple income streams and planning for a longer life.

 It’s not all doom and gloom — there’s still hope if you start now!

💡 You’ll learn:
• What replacement ratio really means and why it matters
• Why budgeting and tracking your expenses is key to retiring comfortably
• Simple strategies to grow your retirement savings
• How lifestyle creep can sabotage your long-term plans
• The biggest myths about retirement and what to do instead
