@Bronx_wrangler This is the reason when I do the post-retirement planning for clients, I factor in 2 sets of inflation numbers. General living costs inflate at x and medical aid inflates at y.

It’s crazy how much of one’s monthly budget needs to be allocated as a % the older they get.

@Vitality_SA if I purchase a voucher using my miles, how long does the voucher last?

@BrentLindeque First JHB winter for us and just had lunch outside, shirt off and in shorts. Glorious. Come inside to my study and straight into a hoody 😂

@Simon_Sithole20 @sarstax Wait until they are retired. All those RA contributions sold as tax relief, the big pay day comes for SARS in 20-30 years time with inflation when retirees start drawing from their living annuities.

@DeanTTraining Quick question about pic 1, I assume that’s 300g of cooked potato? Vs 300g of raw

@DeanTTraining More excited than a kid on Xmas day. Purchased a Ninja Creami Deluxe yesterday (finally available in South Africa) and have my first batch in the freezer ready to be made this evening!

Looking back, committing to my health was probably my first Misogi.

It stretched me.
It humbled me.
It changed me.

Turning 40 feels like the right time to choose the next one.

No coasting.

What would yours be?

[Courtney Chase @Courts_10]

I turn 40 this year.

Both my parents passed before 70.

Three years ago, that reality forced a decision. 🧵

[Courtney Chase @Courts_10]

That season taught me something - real growth rarely happens when you’re comfortable.

Recently I came across the Misogi principle:

Choose 1 challenge each year so difficult you’ve got about a 50% chance of succeeding.

[Courtney Chase @Courts_10]

Most retirement plans are built to grow - very few are built to survive.

A 20% drawdown shouldn’t change your lifestyle.
A weaker currency shouldn’t shock your structure.
Living longer shouldn’t break your income.

Resilience > optimism.

U.S. monthly job creation trend:

2022 peak: +800k
2023 average: ~250k
2024 average: ~180k
Jan 2026: +130k
That’s a ~85% deceleration from the 2022 peak.
Not contraction.
But clearly late-cycle moderation.

Labour momentum is fading.

@NewsflashwJE @SkyeZedA “Long Covid” says it all 😆

After 33 months South Africa has been removed from the Grey List. Other countries that have been removed include Nigeria, Mozambique and Burkina Faso. Hopefully the decision will improve the level of confidence in South Africa

@Discovery_SA @Vitality_SA please take a note on the below and start rewarding weight training better and while you at it, include supplements in the @Dischem benefit.

[David Sinclair @davidasinclair]

Lifting weights isn't vanity, it’s life insurance. Strength training cuts risks of all‑cause death by ~17%

@RomanCabanac You must have some neat hand writing. Not a chance that Grok will be able to decipher my hieroglyphics.

[Courtney Chase @Courts_10]

@RomanCabanac I agree, there are some great options available and the bonus is that they don’t bankrupt you with all the extra add-ons.

[Courtney Chase @Courts_10]

@BrandonLorenzo Agreed. They need to add value to earn a tip!
