The retirement transition: A guide to preparing for modern retirement

In the space of just a few generations, retirement has changed hugely. If you’re planning for your retirement now, you probably want a lifestyle that’s very different to that of your grandparents or even parents.

In the past, retirement was often associated with taking it easy and a slower pace of life.

But today, retirees are creating lifestyles to suit them once they’ve given up work.

However, in uncertain times such as these, the future can feel even more uncertain.

Understanding your options at the point of and during retirement, from achieving aspirations to accessing your pension, is crucial to your future wellbeing and fulfilment.

Preparation is key; it can help you get the most out of your life and retirement provisions once you decide to give up traditional working life

We’ve put together this guide to help you to understand the lifestyle you want and how your income will let you achieve this.
