You know you just explained something to me that every speaker so far has made so complicated to understand. But you just blew it out of the park for me. Especially the resignation part . Which I was most interested in. Some speakers at work said you can not get your current vested money when you resign. You have to wait till 60 for it. But thank you so much for your practical explanation.

@dabeezkneez871628 күн бұрын
I saw that and took it to mean, it is not taxed upon being 'withdrawn' from the vested amount to be placed in the savings pot ( this is technically a withdrawal and subject to tax). But when we withdraw, waasha! Your annual tax may go up and you pay even more tax than is worth the hassle of a few extra coin. Edit: I may be wrong, but we are sharing and learning. Come back here if you find out anything more and let us know.

Thank you Mapalo 😊, very informative, this deserves more views. Few questions, will this stand a legal challenge for people that want to access all their money, i.e. is it constitutional for the government to withhold money you have worked for without your consent. 2nd question, what happens to the retirement pod when you get divorced? 3rd, what happens when I lose my job at age of 45 and can't find a job after a search, does it mean I will struggle though I have R2m in my retirement pod. Honestly I don't think this is constitutional and I think it will fail once people start taking government to the courts.

Your question @17:00 Investment funds have always included a mix of both risky and money market instruments, with retirement funds usually having a higher proportion of risky assets. Therefore, I believe they’ll have more room to invest in risky assets with the 2/3 contribution since withdrawals are no longer possible. The returns forgone by investing 1/3 in money market instruments will be offset by the benefits of long-term investments.
@dabeezkneez871628 күн бұрын
I had the same question and I'm not a finance person and know little about investments, however perhaps this strategy will only pay off and the losses be offset for people that are a quite a bit beyond 10 years to retirement. It is for this reason that I feel we should have been given the choice to opt out of the savings pot especially if we have 15 years or less to retirement. This group only loses, as the retirement pot will barely grow without the other third contributions sitting in savings pot. And then , the worst hit is that, upon retirement , we will pay increased taxes, if the savings pot is taxed at a marginal tax rate. ( Where prior it would have fallen into the R550 000 tax concession etc) It seems this group, into which I fall, (8 years to retirement) is badly hit by the changed system. Edit: Am I understanding correctly? Any advice, insights from you are welcome.

Thank you very much! I had the same question as you from day One. Since I have no intention of accessing the money in my savings pot, to me, it just sounds like a sure way to slow down the rate at which my retirement savings grow! By a third, in layman's view but way more in complex financial terms considering compound interest etc. I am just as eager for an answer and wonder why didn't they give us a choice to opt out of the savings pot altogether?

Hi Mapalo, thank you so much for sharing, very simplified and easy to understand😍. Please do the video on the annuity, the life & living annuity. so, I hear you say the savings pot will accumulate🤔, will it also earn interest though? or does it depend on where it will be sitting, but it sounds like it will not be much. and 😑I just realized I have 18 years to retirement and a 4-year-old...I'm shook right now, need to tighten the belt and pull up the socks ASAP! thank you for always sharing these money nuggets🤗

Thank you Mokgo 🤗🤗🤗❤ the savings pot will still be invested, earning you interest but not sure which funds it will be invested in since it is for emergencies - meaning that it has to be in liquid funds i.e cash, bonds etc that is a concern for me because what if I don't want to access those funds and yet they are not invested aggressively enough!

@dabeezkneez871628 күн бұрын
Sorry to hear about your struggles. As the lady was clarifying, come September, your savings pot will only have , at most R30 000. This amount will be taxed according to your tax rate and you end up getting 20 something thousand Rand. It won't pay off your bond and is not worth taking. Edit. Hang in there, early retirement, if you can afford it, is at 55 years in many companies. Try and speak to a financial planner/adviser. Also, perhaps you have other retirement savings separate, like from Sanlam or Old Mutual which will pay you when you reach 55 years old. Perhaps then you can combine these amounts and pay your bond. If you have a good, stable job, did you know you can approach you bond provider (bank) to extend the term and make your monthly repayments more affordable? Don't be discouraged. Get solid advice.

Regarding tax: does it make a difference to take the savings later ( be it 10 years later or at retirement)? I mean if one is being taxed 20% now when they take their 30k, they will still be taxed the same or more when they take it later. Or at retirement tax is less?

My understanding, and what the lady on the video appears to confirm, is that the money in the vested pot(in your case R370 000 ), are what you will get on resignation subject to tax under the old system. You may get your entire R370 000 as a R550 000 tax concession is applicable , if you haven't taken pension funds from a previous employer before and thus not used up any of the tax free allowance.
