If you’re planning to retire before State Pension age, how do you fund the years in between?
How long could a £500,000 pension really last in retirement? And what could make your money last longer, or run out sooner? In this episode of Retire Well, Matthew and Joe explore what a £500,000 pension could mean for someone approaching retirement, looking at different levels of retirement income and the impact of the State Pension. They also discuss why investment growth, inflation and the timing of market movements can make such a significant difference to your retirement plan. They explore how much investment risk you might consider in retirement, the importance of keeping sufficient cash available, and why your spending is likely to change throughout different stages of retirement. The conversation also moves beyond the numbers to an equally important question: are you making the most of the money you’ve worked hard to build? Plus, Matthew and Joe answer a listener question about whether people ever regret retiring too early, and why retirement planning should start with what you want from life rather than simply focusing on a target pension value.
