“Live your best retirement” is the theme of this year’s Ready Set Retire conference, brought to you by Personal Finance and Alexander Forbes.
Your journey to retirement is unique to you, but you should walk away from the conference feeling more empowered about what retirement will entail and how you should structure your retirement planning. The conference also recognises the importance of a healthy lifestyle, so that once you reach retirement you are in the position to enjoy it to the full.
The one-day Ready Set Retire conference will be held on March 5 in Port Elizabeth, March 9 in Cape Town, March 11 in Johannesburg, and March 17 in Durban. The programme includes the following presentations:
* Tax and legislative update – Jenny Gordon, Alexander Forbes tax expert;
* Investing for and in retirement – Gareth Johnson, Investments Solutions investment expert;
* Retirement decisions – Bruce Cameron, founding editor of Personal Finance;
* Healthcare in retirement (understanding how much you need, as your costs will go up) – Anthea Towert, Alexander Forbes health expert;
* Managing your money in retirement – Bruce Cameron and financial advisers from each region;
* Eating healthily in retirement – Chef Benny, MasterChef judge and celebrity chef; and
* Re-purpose after retirement – Cathy Yuill, professional life coach.
Booking, through Computicket, is open. Tickets are R250, but if you book by February 10, you pay the “early bird” price of R200.
The one-day conference will be followed later in the year by Ready Set Retire club sessions dealing with topics in more depth.
