Most people think of retirement as the end, but it might just be the beginning. In this episode of Footprints, Robby Muhumuza shares his leadership journey, strategic decisions, and truths about misconceptions that cause struggles during and after retirement.

From an early love of stories in Bushenyi, Robby developed into a skilled leader. He served as Head of the Scripture Union and Editor in Chief at Makerere College. Robby worked at World Vision for 23 years, witnessing many transitions and learning to manage them effectively.

Robby prepared for retirement through planning classes, journaling, living below his means, and investing in savings schemes. When he unexpectedly retired at 50 due to restructuring, he was well-prepared. He engaged in consultancy, invested in real estate, and took financial literacy classes.

Robby’s retirement is comfortable, with steady income from investments. He advises planning for retirement early, budgeting, saving, and investing in health insurance. He also warns against relying on children as a backup plan and investing in large houses that can become financial burdens.

Robby’s journey demonstrates that intentional planning and reflection are key to thriving in retirement.
