Retirement planning

Retirement planning

The aim of this section of the National Money site is to provide good quality information that you can use to help your decision making, no matter what stage you are at in your retirement plan.

There are three key stages in retirement planning that reflect what stage of life you are in

  • Saving towards retirement (18+ age group)
  • Getting ready to retire (50 + age group)
  • Already in retirement (55+ age group)

You may have existing pension plans in place, like a company pension or personal pension plans. Are these still the best for you, what will current and future changes to pension legislation mean to you.

Perhaps you’re just starting to save, just started work and thinking about how best to plan your financial future.

Or perhaps you are ready for retirement, or retired already and concerned about low returns on your investments, or whether or not you should draw your pension now, or wait for annuity rates to rise.

Whatever your situation, our site intends to provide good quality information to help you have a clearer image of financial planning for retirement. Down the left hand column you will find a growing number of articles that are relevant about retirement and planning to retire.

If you are already retired please take a look at our dedicated retirement site: Retirement Debts
