What is retirement planning?
Retirement planning encompasses all aspects of financial planning for your retirement, which is not just pensions. We also look at other assets such as savings, investments and any potential inheritance that you may have.
Retirement means different things to different people. Some people choose to take up part time work or volunteering after they retire from their main career.
Why do I need to plan ahead for retirement?
There are three key themes around why it’s crucial to plan for retirement. Firstly, people are living longer and remaining healthier throughout their lives, which means that retirement could last for 30 years or more. It’s important to plan your finances for this key period of life.
On top of that, the state pension age has been increasing over time and is expected to rise further. So, if you wish to retire before state pension age, as many people do, you will of course need other retirement provisions.
Finally, people have greater expectations for their lives in retirement these days, and the state pension alone can’t often support these plans. So it’s important to understand how much you need in retirement – which our financial planning service can definitely help with.
