The Retirement Expo, happening in a few week's time, will showcase for the first time in SA a variety of options to maximise your retirement.
Taking place at the Coca-Cola dome in Johannesburg from 28 to 30 October, the Retirement Expo will offer baby boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, all the lifestyle options available for retirees. But those born before and after that period will most definitely benefit in being able to plan for the future.
These days retirement is about an active, healthy lifestyle and about continuing to make a contribution to society and the economy.
Meet up with financial and investment planners, look at retirement villages and lifestyle resort options, plan your next local or overseas trip, get tips for healthy living or speak to an astrologer if that tickles your fancy.
Expert advice
Visitors to the Retirement Expo can also get real, practical advice on every issue that affects retirement.
Workshops will be presented by experts in their fields.
• Your retirement: in control or crisis – presented by Sylvia Walker of Old Mutual
• Your greatest retirement risk – presented by Rob Jones of Shire Retirement Properties
• An estate plan – the centrepiece of your retirement puzzle – presented by Glacier by Sanlam estate planning specialists
• Life rights – presented by Arthur Case of Evergreen Lifestyles
• World of Work in the 21st century for baby boomers and the next chapter – planning your life – presented by Lynda Smith of The Refirement Network.
