Work until you drop: get the most from your pension even if you don’t retire
3rd November 2018
If you’re celebrating your 50th birthday this year, then congratulations. Turning 50 is a big milestone and you’re one step closer to retirement. Perhaps you’re starting to put together a ‘bucket’ list and thinking about all the things you’d like to do over the next few years and when you finish work.
You might have every intention of ‘sorting’ out your pensions, saving some money, paying extra off the mortgage or simply reducing your expenditure. Unfortunately, these things often keep getting put off and you can end up reaching retirement age without having made the provisions you need for the life you want.
It’s no good simply adding “sort out pensions” to your bucket list and planning on getting around to it at some point. You need to actually do it.
Once you understand what can be achieved with your pensions, you can make a more realistic plan. It may be that you can reduce your working hours sooner than you thought or even retire earlier than you planned. Alternatively, you may need to start saving and investing more now if you want a pension pot that supports your plans.
At Rockwood Financial Solutions, we want to help you achieve everything on your bucket list and live the life you want after you retire. The best present you can give yourself for your half-century birthday is the knowledge that you will be able to retire comfortably. We can help you do this.
Every situation is unique. We take our time to understand yours so that we can help you put together the solutions that work for you. This will depend on your current lifestyle, your plans for the future and your attitude to investment and risk.
