Can I borrow money from my retirement annuity?


Question:

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a retirement annuity with Liberty Life which I stopped paying. I was told I cannot cash it in due to the fact that it is over R9 000.00. I need to know if I can borrow money from it then?

Answer:

Lexy,

No, you will not be able to access this money in any form until you turn 55. There are two exceptions: you retire early due to ill-health or you emigrate formally.
