The road to a life of freedom in retirement

We recently interviewed Motlatsi Pule, a 10X Living Annuity client and star of a recent 10X webinar on retirement. She shared a few priceless gems about what she likes most about retirement (the freedom to travel and to sleep in as long as she desires). She also shared some superbly savvy advice on how she gained financial freedom.

It is clear that Motlatsi loves her freedom and that she has designed her journey to retirement carefully and is reaping the benefits of her decisions.

Motlatsi opens the conversation by emphasising that, “You don’t have to worry about what tomorrow brings if you have planned properly.” She often refers to this key point as she shares her thoughts on the various factors that have led her to a comfortable retirement.

Our conversation began with a broad overview of the key criteria she used in selecting 10X Investments as her financial provider.

Based on her own advice from her previous employer, she says she “drew up a list of criteria that I believed the investment company I go with would have to satisfy”.

Motlatsi began interviewing the companies on her list and “allocated points based on the answers I was getting from each of them”. After a set of interviews, both online and in person, she added up the points, and 10X came out as the number one choice out of the four on her shortlist.
