44 Case Study: Mr & Mrs Botha If Mr Botha is unhappy with his retirement plan, he has 4 options: 1. Delay retirement 2. Save more before retirement 3. Spend less during retirement 4. Take more investment risk

45 In the words of the Dalai Lama The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him most about humanity. His answer was this: Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.

46 It s about your life Financial planning is about creating a great life, and not a good living.
