Goodbye Tension, Hello pension.
What is a pension?
It’s the money that you will live off once you retire.
According to a recent data, inflation has made it harder for many people to achieve financial freedom and has made a good retirement even more out of reach. To keep the same standard of living as in the spring of last year, an additional £4,200 must be budgeted/saved each year. And to make sure you have earn that much money each year, you’ll need to save an additional £69,000 over your working life. Many pensioners simply cannot pay these kind of eye watering sums.
