  • Retirement Income

Deciding when and how to retire will be determined by your needs and your own personal circumstances. You may retire from work completely, or you may transition to retirement slowly and reduce your hours to part time work for a period. 

Whatever your situation, you need to ensure that you have planned and saved during your working years, so that you can enjoy the sort of retirement that you want. To do this, you should consider what sort of income you will need in retirement, but also to ensure that your money lasts as long as you do.
