James, 32, is a Policy Advisor in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). He's also about to become a dad and admits that he doesn't know much about his pension.

In this episode, James, 32, chats to Rob and Emily about his perspective on why some of our younger members are less engaged with their pension and may not be prioritising planning for retirement right now.

Also joining the conversation is Cathryn Murray (Training & Engagement Manager at MyCSP), who leads a team dedicated to training, educating and empowering members to understand their pension and how it can provide for them in the long term.

With his first child on the way, James' perspective on the future has understandably shifted. He wants to make sure he's in a position to financially support his family and enjoy their time together now, whilst also being able to provide for them and himself in the future.

Planning for the future when you’re in your 20s or 30s might feel like something you can put off, but it's never too early to start thinking about your retirement.

Look out for our next episode on Thursday 20 October.
