Let that sink in.
And it gets worse…
- 7 out of 10 Kenyans struggle financially after retirement due to lack of savings
- Over 80% of retirees are forced to keep working just to meet basic needs
- Only 26% of workers are registered in a retirement benefits scheme
Now pause.
Because you are either a statistic today…
Or part of the financially distressed retirees tomorrow.
The data above is not just sad. It’s a warning.
The Hard Truth About Retirement
Yes, you might blame inflation, job losses, or heavy responsibilities.
But let’s talk about you…
You are earning well.
But your main financial strategy is spending everything today.
You have no plan for tomorrow.
You assume it will somehow take care of itself.
You even say things like “YOLO.”
But here is the uncomfortable truth:
Every sunset brings you closer to retirement.
And it should worry you that you are doing nothing about it.
Like it or not—your paycheck will stop.
And when it does… reality will hit hard.
No one is coming to save you.
If you are counting on your children as your retirement plan, think again:
- They may not have the capacity
- They may have their own struggles
- Worse… they may be looking up to you for support
Now imagine that.
You, retired… and still responsible.
In fact, a 2024 survey revealed that 83% of retirees still support dependents (adult children and grandchildren),
Placing even greater strain on their already limited income.
What You Must Do Starting Today
Now,
Whether you are employed, in business, freelancing, or in any trade…
As long as you earn income—this is what you must do:
Secure a portion of your income and channel it into a Personal Pension Plan (IPP).
It doesn’t matter how small you start:
- 10%, 15%, or 20% of your income
- Or even Ksh 2,000 or Ksh 5,000
What matters is consistency.
Month after month. No excuses.
This is how you buy your future comfort.
