Are you on track as retirement gets closer?

As retirement draws near, it’s natural to start thinking more seriously about what your future might look like.

Whether you’ve been saving for years or feel like you’re playing catch-up, it’s a good time to check whether your pension and other savings are set to provide the lifestyle you’re hoping for.

Looking at your current plans and seeing how everything is shaping up gives you the chance to make adjustments while there’s still time to boost your income or reduce any shortfall.

What do you need to think about before retiring?

There’s more to retiring than simply picking a date.

From deciding how and when to take your pension, to thinking about any tax charges that might apply, there are several important choices that can have a lasting impact.

Some decisions, like buying an annuity, can’t be changed once made.

That’s why speaking with someone who understands the rules and can explain your options clearly is such a key part of getting everything in place.

For example, if you decide to buy an annuity, that decision can’t be changed later.

That’s why it’s so important to have a clear understanding of your options, so you can move forward with confidence and avoid decisions that may limit your flexibility down the line.
