What If?

with

We all have questions about investing our money, but sometimes we just don’t know where to start, or how much we need to invest.

But what if quitting one unhelpful habit could help you take that holiday you always wanted? What if changing one small expense could lead to a lifetime of investing well?

Graeme Richards and Nedbank are hitting the streets of Cape Town to ask ordinary South Africans about those guilty pleasures busting their budget, and what dreams they could have for that money instead.

From online shopping to takeaways, soft drinks and streaming services, Graeme is on a mission to ask South Africans: 'What if?'

What if I could grow one lump sum investment towards a dream retirement home?

There is no place like home, and as we grow older, a dream home in which we can retire becomes one of life's desires.

Whether it is downscaling to a home that suits your changing needs, or finally buying that dream home by the sea, it's a goal worth planning for some as they approach retirement.

The good news is it’s never too late to reach your goal. What if investing a lump sum of your hard-earned money can help you retire in your dream home?

Graeme Richards and Nedbank are searching the streets of South Africa, on a mission to help fellow citizens approaching retirement. By asking 'What if?', we chat to real people, who share their true stories.

In this week's episode, we run into 58-year-old Mearle May, who is looking to buy a final dream home in which she can retire.
