Retirement means different things to different people

For some, it’s a definite point in time when work stops and a new phase of life begins. For others, retirement may be a gradual process where they vary their working hours as priorities shift. Sometimes, retirement comes earlier than expected, for example, because of redundancy or poor health.

Whatever your path to retirement, one of the big challenges most of us face is how to pay for it. The financial aspects are often complex, and getting reliable and trustworthy advice is vital.
