Financial expert Obeng Darko has called on former sector workers to have a proper retirement plan that will foot their medical bills and safeguard their lives while on retirement.
According to him, most public sector workers rely on Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) which makes them find themselves wanting when the money is not paid.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Max Morning Show in Accra on Monday, Darko cautioned public sector workers against depending solely on the government’s policies in securing their lives after retirement.
”There’s no need to use your entire life to rely on public policies. Don’t allow the government to determine the cause of your life while you’re on retirement. Take full influence of your life and control your interest,” he advised.
Darko further underscored the need for investment while one is in his or her youthful age.
”Don’t use all your money to buy cars and build houses for ladies. Have a plan and search where to invest that you can gain returns from so that when you’re in your old age, you will have a source of income that will sustain you,” he stated.
