Pensions
The phrase Pension started in the 14th Century. It comes from Anglo Latin, meaning payment for services . Although times have changed, its still important to think about retirement. How do you maintain your standard of living when you retire?
People are living longer & the number of retired people is growing. In the future the state will only be able to provide a basic level of pension for people when they retire. This amount of money will not be enough to maintain a decent standard of living.
By twenty fifty the life expectency of a man will be 89 according to the institute of actuaries. Women will on average live longer, age 91. Current life expectancy is 82 and 84.
This shows the need to save for retirement.
The government has asked people to take more ownership when funding pensions & making an investment for retirement.
