🚀 Get ready to blast off into a post-work world 🚀 Pick up your copy of The Times on Saturday where we breakdown the steps to take if you're five years, three years or 12 months away from retirement. More than a quarter of those aged 40-75 have done no planning at all, a recent government study shows, while an incredible four people out of five of those aged between 55 and 64 don’t know how much they have saved in their pension. The average person can now expect to spend more than 20 years in retirement. That’s an awfully long time to eke out your money, especially if you’re relying solely on the state pension — even if you qualify for the full amount. It's no good burying your head in the sand - act now and your retirement can be much more comfortable. ✍ James Andrews, Katie Binns, Michael Brown, Orla Loughran Hayes, Rebecca Goodman, Moira O'Neill & Ruth Jackson-Kirby

Loved mentoring our Couch to £5k participants - all had to confront issues like grief, ADHD-related impulse spending, anxiety and over optimism. Audrey, Adam, Louise and Paul, and Jo and Alex were luckily set up with the brilliant Funmi Olufunwa LLB, CeMAP - Financial Educator Timi Merriman-Johnson DipFA Raji Kaippallil (FinancewithRaji) and Helena Wardle - massive thank you to them for their time and expertise 👏🏻 Taking the first step to tackle your finances is important - and that's easier if there's a path laid out for you and someone you trust to support you. You don't have to wait until next year to do Couch to £5k. Times Money Mentor has its free six-week newsletter course now online: https://lnkd.in/e_cdP_wt Getting support is always key: even now as a money journalist I check in with my old school pal Edward (Ed) Fox 😘 #money #moneytips #personalfinance #moneychallenge #financialgoals

My biggest article so far. So glad I could help Tricia and her family navigate a hefty inheritance tax bill, and find a few things to help whittle it down as much as possible. It's a pretty great feeling. Have a read 👇 https://lnkd.in/eg5Xykam Times Money Mentor // The Times
