    Preparing to retire:

    Preparation is key and It’s something we don’t often think about until we actually start the process, but the more research and planning you can do beforehand, the more prepared you’ll feel.

    Making the decision to retire isn’t usually one that happens overnight. Here are some things one should consider:

    • Income
    • Family and friends
    • The community
    • Leisure
    • Travel

    What Income will you need?

    The Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA) urges savers to consider what outgoings they anticipate in retirement such as:

    • Housing
    • Food
    • Transport
    • Holidays & Leisure
    • Helping others
