Mpumi Madonsela has recently qualified to be a Chartered Management Accountant and she is working at one of the big four accounting firms. Due to the limited salary of an article clerk, Mpumi did not contribute to any provident fund. Fortunately for her, the firm contributed to a pension fund on her behalf. She was not content with only a pension fund but was adamant that she wanted a provident fund to supplement her very extravagant life style.
Mpumi decided that on 1 January 2019, she would begin contributing to a selected provident fund. Her contributions towards this provident fund will be monthly in arrears. She wanted to get a lump sum pay-out on retirement date at the age of 65. Mpumi planned to put the lump sum in a money market account at a bank and withdraw a monthly amount for the rest of her life. The monthly amount must be an amount that will be able to maintain two and a half times her 1st year post article salary.
