Retiring

Attended a really useful training event last week on the subject of preparing for retirement. It was especially interesting as a lot of the material covered was relevant to everyone, of any age, living in the UK today.

Excellent food for thought, with lots of information and sharing of knowledge. I’m going to follow up with further research so I’m more prepared and also able to provide up to date information to my clients who are thinking of retirment.

One of the comments made by the trainer was that most people worry the most about how they will manage financially when they finish full time paid work, and yet very few of us actually take the time to find out the facts about how much we will have…very true!

I would recommend anyone takes a look at www.direct.gov.uk it is a really good web site with some really interesting material on it. You can review what age you will be eligible to retire at, and also get a state pension forecast there.
