Your Journey to Retire Successfully

Retire on purpose, with purpose, where money enables the dreams you have for your life

Retirement is defunct.  Welcome, RetiremeantTM.

The best is yet to come!

We see RetiremeantTM as a beginning rather than an end – and define RetiremeantTM as having the freedom to achieve your yet unfulfilled dreams and goals, on your terms and in your own time.

Our focus is on what you are retiring to, supported by your unique Financial Plan. Make your journey towards retirement easy with our best Financial Retirement Planning.

This website is designed to support you in creating a RetiremeantTM that is both fulfilling and meaningful – one where money and meaning meet.

For us, a holistic RetiremeantTM Plan, comprises three important parts: a Life Plan, a Financial Plan and an Estate Plan to support the ideal picture of your life and to give you peace of mind.

While many people see retiring as primarily about the money (and money is most certainly a key element), we have learnt that RetiremeantTM is about getting the most from your money – and your life.

Our approach invites you to plan for your life first: visualise what you want your life to look like in Retiremeant™. Consider how balanced your life is and decide what elements of your life (if any) need attention. We encourage you to take the Balance Test and to create your personal Wheel of Balance. Make sure that you engage in all the elements of your life that may have been previously neglected. Your input will assist you in creating your Bucket Wheel®, thereby focusing your energy and your money on what brings the most meaning to your life.

The vision that you have for your life in the coming years should then be supported by a sound Financial Plan and Investment Strategy, one that takes into consideration what your unique circumstances are and is structured to support your life objectives. In this way, your money can be invested to ensure that it lasts during your RetiremeantTM years. Now your money means something; it enables you to live a meaningful and balanced second half of your life.

The power lies in the planning! It is up to you to envisage – and then execute – what you want your life in RetiremeantTM to look like!

We invite you to join us on our RetiremeantTM journey by exploring this website and getting to know us better.
