Why should you start thinking about retirement now?

Planning for getting older isn’t just for those approaching their 60s. The earlier you start, the more flexibility you give yourself in the years ahead.

It’s about giving your future self options, whether that’s finishing work earlier than planned, travelling more, or simply enjoying a comfortable lifestyle without worrying about money.

Building up your pension, making use of tax-efficient savings, and understanding how much you might need later on are all part of putting yourself in the best position when the time comes.

How much will you really need in retirement?

It’s not always easy to picture your future lifestyle or put a number on how much income you’ll want.

But taking a closer look at your current spending habits, alongside any changes that might happen later, is a good place to begin.

Your mortgage may be paid off by then, and commuting costs might drop, but other expenses could rise, especially healthcare or helping family.

Having a rough figure in mind helps you understand whether your current savings plan is on track or if there’s a gap to bridge.

That’s why it’s so important to speak with someone who can explain the options clearly, so you feel confident in the steps you’re taking and choose what works best for you.
