When my mum turned 55 we learned a few things the hard way, so here's the practical version. At 55 the RA is formed and it holds the sum nee…

Don't panic and definitely don't send a desperate 'I'll take less' email immediately, that screams insecurity and weakens you before they ev…

Been retrenched twice, survived both, so breathe, you will be okay. Practical first steps in order. One, get everything in writing: your ret…

Whole experience depends massively on the landlord type. Live-in landlord means cheaper sometimes but more rules and less privacy. Fully ten…

Switched from banking ops to UX design at 34, now 38. Things I wish I knew: one, your savings runway matters more than your passion. I had 1…

I do the JB run roughly twice a month and I've tracked it properly for a year, so here's the honest math. Groceries and household stuff genu…

HR here. Never give a single number, give a researched range and anchor to market. My script that works: "Based on my research for this role…

From my experience, the OA to SA transfer is powerful because SA earns 4 percent versus OA 2.5 percent, and compounded over 15 years that ga…
