What do you need to be thinking about?

Financial planning in retirement

This guide is for people in retirement. You may be already retired completely, or partially there. If you’re semi-retired then you’ll probably have a clear timeframe of when you want to take that final step and stop working.

Retirement should be a time of relaxation and enjoyment after forty years or more of working. It’s a chance to do more of what you want, whether that be travelling and ticking some items off the bucket list, taking up a new hobby, or spending more time with your grandchildren.

But it goes without saying that your financial position will be a key decider in whether you’re able to fulfil your retirement dreams.

Many issues will impact your finances during retirement. The aim of this guide is to set out some of the areas you should be focusing on, help you feel more prepared for the future and give you some practical guidance on where you can find answers to your questions. By taking control of your finances, you can gain the peace of mind and sense of security that are essential if you want to enjoy your retirement.

This guide covers:

  • Your income
  • Employment / Self-employment
  • Cashflow planning
  • Reviewing your pension investment
  • Reviewing your other investments and savings
  • Your property
  • Your health
  • Annuity purchase
  • Inheritance
  • And more…
