Everything Counts is a bi-weekly podcast series that dives into money and financial wellness, hosted by 702’s Motheo Khoaripe. Each episode unpacks practical aspects of personal finance-how to save, spend, invest, and make smart decisions to boost your financial wellbeing.

In this episode, Motheo explores the trend of unretirement, where people return to work after retiring or delay retirement past the age of 65. Join experts Kate Robson (co-head of Investec, My Investments) and Nicolette Mashile (award-winning financial literacy author also known as the ‘Financial Bunny’) as they discuss what’s driving the shift, the impact of poor savings habits, and why early retirement planning is essential.

Learn how financial advisers and tax professionals can help you navigate retirement income, tax implications, and the risks of outliving your retirement savings. Whether you’re planning ahead or already retired, discover practical tips to secure your financial future and make the most of your golden years.
