Our ideas about retirement have changed dramatically. In the past, pensioners were thought of in a more traditional way. Now, they do yoga and have a travel bucket list to work through. Or that’s the aim anyway.
People are living longer, healthier lives and want to be able to enjoy decades of active retirement.
But that’s a long time to fund.
If your retirement dreams are taking a sharp reality check when you look at what’s in your pension, the important thing is to act.
It’s never too late to make lifestyle changes and start investing more for future, retired you. What changes could you make now to try and fund a better retirement?
When you’re in your 20s and 30s, you may believe that retirement is something you’ll think about when you’re older, especially if you have student debt to repay, a home deposit to save up for and many other expenses.
But saving towards retirement now can have a huge impact.
Not having a pension now might mean turning down ‘free’ money that could make life more comfortable when you’re ready to take up yoga and start planning that bucket list. Whatever stage you’re at, making a plan and taking good advice now may put you on track for the retirement you’re hoping for.
