Money Bootcamp: Planning for retirement
Welcome to the @santaminsurance Insure Your Future Money Bootcamp with @MapaloMakhu and Maya Fisher-French.
This is a series of podcasts that you can follow to help create your own money journey. We share our experiences in working with individuals who turned their finances around in just six months.
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 pay cheque 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.

Retirement Funds March 2024: More Questions Answered
If you have opened a tax free saving account with a certain institution is it possible to change/ move to another institution if you feel like you made a wrong choice?
Yes, you can move to another product provider. Just make sure in your next tax return that SARS shows it as a transfer and not a new investment.

When is the payment date?
No one knows anything about how to withdraw the funds. It's extremely difficult to get your money out of the GEDF fund compare to the private sector.
@@LeeDuPreez-d7w this is the article I wrote www.news24.com/citypress/business/gepf-members-frustrated-by-delays-technical-issues-with-two-pot-system-20240929
The SANDF pension fund withdrawal from the two pot fund is always not working. Day or night this is discusting 😮and shocking
Thanks for the interesting content! 😍 Need some advice: 🙏 I have a set of words 🤷♂️. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). I don't know what they are. What should I do with them? 🤷♀️
I wanna know if I have unclaimed benefits
Hi Mapalo I'm currently overseas and I have a daughter in SA. I want to join the medical scheme for her. Was there medical scheme recommended to join?
My problem is you don't send me otp number what can I do to proceed my claim
You will have to contact the GEPF directly for technical support - I do not work for the GEPF. This was an educational video series I did for GEPF members.
Can someone please clearly explain how to access this R30000 I'm working for Saps
Does the system affects your money when you got fired after the 1st of September 2024 ?
What happens if you don't take the 2 pot system funds
Quick Question: Should you withdraw and you annual income increases, will you be taxed thereafter or the months to follow on this new income tax bracket? Will your salary for the rest of the tax year be on this new income tax bracket?
it is difficult to say. SARS will do the calculation and hopefully the full tax obligation will be deducted and not impact your next tax return. But it may still have some small impact. It will only affect your tax return end Feb 2025
Thanks for the simple and clear explanation, This was really helpful.
What happens if I resign 8 months after 1 September and am not 55
exactly as indicated in the video - your vested pot remains available so does your savings pot
But the vested pot is now divided in 2 which is vested benefit and non-vested benefit. What happens now when I resign?
So that is confusing because members of provident funds prior to March 2021 have vested and non-vested pots. In this scenario both those are still part of the Vested Pot mentioned in the video so both are accessible on resignation
Hi Maya,Please explain the difference between - Inflation link Annuity , Living Annuity & With Profit Annuity.
Hi Maya what happens if I choose not to withdraw for three years and withdraw in the fourth? will the money on my savings pot accumulate to R30 000 x 4yrs =R120 000, and will I be able to withdraw the entire accumulated amount on the savings pot after tax implications?
What if I emigrate?
@rudivn1 the current rules apply. You will have to be out the country for three years.
I would rather take 30grand a year and invest it elsewhere, rather having to deal with the insanity of an annuity which I do not care for.
@rudivn1 that won't help because the amount you can withdraw is paid to you as a lump sum at retirement not an annuity. The two-thirds you can't withdraw are used to purchase an annuity.
@@mayaonmoney4043 I'm leaving the country soon, so would rather take out what I can.
@@mayaonmoney4043This is pure cheating 😢😢
This is really terrible. I would like to have full access of 100% of all my future money after 1 Sept. Insanity and unfair
What if I resign after 1 sept 24 and I’m not 55
@@reshmiseerparsad8143 the video explains that
You will still have access to the money you've accumulated from the time you were working you will still get a percentage that's tax free play tax on the rest of it. The money that goes into your retirement pot will only start from the 1st of September no money from your existing vested pot will be transferred to your retirement pot.
....if I don't resign and withdraw my money till my pension will I get my cash or monthly to monthly as installment
@@jabulawrence6269 you will receive both a lump sum (gratuity) and an income
This video explains
ua-cam.com/video/qGozgbuJXJ8/v-deo.htmlsi=ZJJpVALGlkwN9CdG
If I resign over a year will I get full pension ?
I just check my GEPF statement. Why resignation benefit is more than the combined amount of vested pot and saving pot? Is the resignation benefit not reflect the actual amount you will receive if you resigns? If so vested plus savings should be equal resignation benefit value. Can you please clarify that portion please.
I resign before 1 of September waiting for my pansion payout am I still affected with this new law
@@IvanKatelro no you are not
But how is 22k going to assist, like school fees alone is 32k. Government is joking.
@shirleyratau5352 you definitely should not be using your retirement to fund school fees.
Wow, very clear, I thought we need to resign now
When I do choose to transfer my benefit to an approved retirement fund as you suggest and I want to access it afterwards does it get taxed?.
@aimyluv if you want to withdraw before retirement tax will apply. At retirement there is a bigger tax break.
Do i qualify 6604020785088
Hi Maya, thank you so much for making us understand the 2 pot system. What I still don't understand is the seeded capital since it will be taken from my Vested post, which have its on regulations. Does then this mean that if I withdraw the firsr R30 000, the one taken from my invest pot, it won't have any effect on my years in service or what? I hope my question makes sense.
There is nothing significant one can do with R30 000 withdrawal.

If you don't draw money in the savings pot what happens?
@@mgodoyikzn it grows in value. The point really is not to withdraw and keep it for retirement
I don't understand this really where did this gps coming from,we worked for our money but now yhu guys decide about our money how to handle it this is pain what are we going to do with this little money we accounts needs everything 😭😭
We are struggling to Authenticate information when the GEpf can’t relate to our ids
Thank you. I can now say I understood this system after your short video. It seems like a scam to me 😢
Eish from this I feel like I’ve already made many mistakes
Hi if you are not working for goverment do we also fall in the 2 pot
Yes absolutely. You can watch these videos ua-cam.com/video/5dgfTgmYk-Q/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Everyone will fall into the scheme Sars will make lekker money on taxation
@@antoniofrancisco3018 only if they withdraw. That is the point, to encourage people to keep their retirement money for retirement
But what was the purpose of withdrawing
@shirleyratau5352 great question. From what I understand the unions wanted to provide an opportunity for members facing financial stress a once off opportunity for withdrawal. Hence the seed capital. But it really makes no sense to withdraw- just ignore it and leave your money
If you have R270,000 10%=
R27 000 -
How can this 2 pot sytem going to work and can i withdraw before 31 august
The videos do explain how it will work. You can only withdraw from a pension fund before 31 August if you resign.
This is a nonsensical system. What will one do with a max of 30k. This only benefits the government through tax.
True
So it is not the relief as it was published initially
Only rich people think 30k is small
How to declare a balloon payment.
Thank you! The explanation i needed to hear!
Explained perfectly
What if you resign after 1 Sept say in Dec. Can you withdraw the full amount or is it 1/3 lump sum and 2/3 monthly pension
You can elect to have your vested pot paid out and your savings pot. The retirement pot will be preserved until retirement age which is 55
Thank you 😊💕

Hi Maya. Lets say the date is , 2 September 2024 and I decided to resign from my Job, can I withdraw as cash from my vested pot?
The vested pot is left to grow and can be accessed if you resign after 1 September. This video explains it in more detail. ua-cam.com/video/OXQDwofVZ4U/v-deo.html
Does Reg 28 apply to the 3 pots as a single entity or does each pot have to be Reg 28 compliant?
They will all be treated the same. Most likely they will all be invested in exactly the same fund - it will just be a separate accounting on the benefit statement.
Thanks for keeping us updated Maya. I love your channel ❤
A Gepf member's savings pot is invested how? If you are aware of same. Tif
No difference in how it is invested. It will be calculated based on years of pensionable service and the usual actuarial calculations applied
Fantastic advice, there is still so many unanswered questions around the implementation and 1 September is coming up fast. Thanks for keeping us informed on the questions being raised.
Maya, your fab video doesn't talk about the vested pot balance of R470k . also i am interested to establish what is your response to people wanting to resign as they believe they wont have access to any of their savings on resignation/retrenchment/dismissal.
