Planning
for Your Future Retirement
Having
the retirement of your dreams takes planning. In many cases you
may have 30 or more years to seriously think about what you want
to do in retirement and how you are going to get there. Time can
either be your greatest asset or your worst enemy. If you start
early, time is on your side and your money can work hard for you.
If you wait until retirement is just a few years away then you will
have very little time to catch up.
A recent survey revealed that with the benefit of hindsight, 51%
of pensioners said that financial advice should be sought 20 years
before retirement. However, in practice, only 24% of pensioners
sought financial advice at this stage of their lives, with 23% only
requesting advice 5 years before retirement and 21% at retirement.
