In this episode, Warren Ingram and Pieter de Villiers respond to a recently retired listener with about R11.6 million in retirement savings, a R500,000 cash buffer, and a plan to draw R35,000 a month. They explain why inflation, concentrated Nasdaq exposure, AI-generated guidance, and advice from friends all deserve scrutiny when building a retirement strategy that may need to last 30 years or more.
