Beat the Pensions Crisis
13 Oct 09

In the early 1970’s a fifty year old investing £100,000 into their pension could expect to receive £50,000 per year on retiring at 65. Now that same investment would return just £15,000 per year. As we live longer and have ever higher expectations of a comfortable and rewarding retirement, pensions are, quite rightly, becoming a major cause of concern.

In the past someone else, an employer or the government, could be relied on to provide a solid pension. That’s no longer true. The responsibility to make sure we are set up for the future now lies with the individual. ‘Beat the Pensions Crisis’ breaks down the harsh reality of the situation and offers advice and strategies to ensure readers are fully prepared financially for retirement.

‘Beat the Pensions Crisis’ shows readers how to assess the pension options available to them, helping them to understand the benefits of each and decide which is best suited to them. Readers will learn how to evaluate their personal circumstances and understand how their lifestyle choices will have a direct impact on their future finances.

The book provides a valuable insight into crucial elements of planning for the future such as valuing existing assets, paying into a pension pot and knowing how big that pension pot needs to be.

‘Beat the Pensions Crisis’ has been written to help consumers take control of their pensions; cutting through the jargon and filtering the overload of information.  The book inspires an active approach to help consumers make the best plans for their retirements.

Looking ahead to retirement can cause anxiety and uncertainty. With ‘Beat the Pensions Crisis’ on hand, readers can improve their financial future and start looking forward to their retirement.
