Retirement is often imagined as a season of freedom, stability, and fulfilment. But according to Samuel Acquah, Chief Risk Officer at First National Bank, the lived reality for many Ghanaian retirees reveals a gap between expectation and experience, requiring a fresh approach to financial planning.
