What You Need To Easily Access Your NSSF Benefits

Saving for retirement is a must for any Kenyan. It is voluntary for millions of Kenyans, but paramount that one does. Failing to save for one’s retirement is like voluntarily choosing to have a miserable and stressful life in the future. Nothing kills one faster than retiring with nothing to fall back to.

When we talk about retirement, many people feel as if they are being threatened. To some, it feels like talking about death. But let us face it. We are all growing old, and at one point, whether we like it or not, we shall stop working and retreat to our homes.
