South Africa is changing its pension laws.

 

The new system is designed to give individuals the opportunity to access only a portion of their retirement funds before they retire in the case of dire need – or even in case of desire.

 

To an extent, this makes sense, given the low savings rate in the country.

 

It forces individuals to save at least some of what they have in their pension fund instead of being able to spend it all when they change jobs, but it also allows them to spend some of what they couldn’t save by other means or on their own.
