Budgeting for Everyone

 

 
Worried about where your money is going?  Recent research of retirees shows:
  • Two out of three retirees have been forced to reduce their personal expenditure in the last three months.
  • Around one million retirees (30%) are not confident their retirement savings will last the distance.
  • Those who started saving for retirement AFTER the age of 50, have more financial worries (48%) compared to those who started saving before the age of 40 (29%).
  • What the research suggests is that with better planning and greater saving, future generations would be able to have the retirement lifestyle they chose rather than the one they are forced to accept.
