Navigating Retirement: Managing Expenses, Taxes, and Financial Immigration

In this episode, Warren Ingram answers your questions about retirement expenses and taxes, as well as the financial consequences of immigrating and investing in foreign stock markets. He also highlights the importance of budgeting for increasing medical aid costs in retirement & gives advice around financial immigration and tax implications.

Takeaways

• Retirement expenses don't change significantly from the last years of work to the first years of retirement, except for the cessation of saving and potential changes in supporting children financially.
• Budget for increasing medical aid costs in retirement, as they tend to grow faster than the cost of living.
• Be cautious about formal financial immigration, as it can have significant tax implications. Test drive living in another country before making a permanent move.
• Invest in global investments through South African fund managers to avoid double taxation and have flexibility in accessing funds based on your residency.
