For some, the goal is to retire at age 40; for others, it is 50.
Is this possible? Yes. It is achievable by increasing your regular and passive incomes.
About 45% of Nigerian parents plan to rely on their children after retirement, according to the Access to Financial Services in Nigeria (A2F) 2020 report by EFInA.
Add this to the increasing pressure of meeting the rising cost of living, and you might be headed for this vicious circle if there is nothing to fall back on after mandatory retirement.
So, what do you do? Start a Side hustle?
Ironically, you don't have to add a side hustle to your 9 to 5 to create passive income.
Today, with digital products provided by fintech companies, you can grow your wealth by generating up to 15% interest from yearly savings on some platforms and 20% yield from investments on others.
You can even own stocks in some of the world's biggest companies like Facebook (Meta), Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google (Alphabet).
Inflation in Nigeria hit a 17-year high this year, and the value of the naira keeps dropping. However, some fintech products can help you hedge against inflation and ensure that the value of your savings doesn’t drop but rises instead.
The list of products is endless, and they allow you more time to move up the corporate ladder, increase your income, or concentrate on other ventures while your money works for you. If you are capable, you can still add a side hustle.
