Glacier by Sanlam: The Perfect Life

Three people were offered their perfect life, but they turned it down. The perfect life. It’s what we all strive for. King James South Africa offered three subjects with great careers and lifestyles something they've always desired - a perfect life. The one they’d always imagined living for the rest of their lives. Once we revealed their perfect life to them on screen, we offered them a salary to make it a reality.

However, the salary we offered them was far below what they actually needed to live their perfect life. In fact, it was far lower than the salary they were already earning.

Why? Because unknown to them, we calculated their “salary” from their actual retirement savings in today’s money.

Needless to say, they declined the offer. But unlike most people, who only discover their retirement salary too late, it was revealed early enough for them to do something about it.

Viewers were then encouraged to find out their own retirement salary using a handy calculator provided.
