What you don’t know about pensions can hurt you
If you’re depending solely on the state to provide you with a comfortable retirement, then you ought to think again.
Many experts say that in future the state pension will not give people anywhere near the level of income they need for a retirement free of financial worry. So maybe you need to seriously consider taking out your own personal pension? But before you do anything, please talk it over with us first. Why? Because pensions are complicated.
For example: if you’re employed you may need a different kind of pension from someone who’s self-employed. And if you already have a personal pension, could you do better? On top of that, there are new rules being introduced which may also affect your interests.
If it all sounds too much don’t worry, we can talk you through. We’ll explain how pensions ‘work’; how best to look after your family’s interests; tell you about the tax benefits you get when you have your own personal pension; and we’ll help you calculate what kind of retirement income you might need.
