Knowing what to expect can be an important part of planning for life after work
How much do you think you’ll need to fund your retirement? Of course, the answer to that question will depend on what you want to do when you stop work. Worriedly almost half of non-retirees (46%) are unable to identify how much annually they believe retirees receive from their state pension according to a survey[1].
What will the government’s proposals mean for the social care system?
The government has set out its vision for the future of adult social care. New plans were announced on 7 September 2021, for adult social care reform in England. This included a lifetime cap on the amount anyone in England will need to spend on their personal care, alongside a more generous means-test for local authority financial support.
Creating a realistic plan for achieving your objectives within a certain time frame
No matter where you are in life, you probably have financial goals you want to achieve. Planning your investment goals is essential if you’re going to have a real chance of achieving them.
Is now the time to look for long term alternatives?
The relentless effect of inflation over time can be detrimental for those keeping large sums in cash and attracting interest at a low or even zero rate. The combination of rising inflation and low interest rates make holding cash unappealing. Many people underestimate the damaging effect of low interest and high inflation on their cash savings.
Even if you are a sophisticated investor, one of the most important tools available is diversification. Whether the market is bullish (rising) or bearish (falling), maintaining a diversified portfolio is essential to any long-term investment strategy.
