Question:
I am a mother of 3 kids. The first two are already at tertiary institutions and the education policies only covered the fees for first semester. I am now considering canceling the retirement policy so that I can pay the varsity fees. Will I get all the money that I contributed?
Answer:
Tseleng,
Unfortunately, by law, you cannot access your retirement annuities policies before you turn 55. You can cancel them (make them paid up, ie stop contributing) but the money will remain locked up until you turn 55.
