The then Chief Executive, Andrew Bailey, warned \u2018Around 15 million people, or a third of all workers, are not saving towards their retirement, and the state pension is not enough to maintain their living standards.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it in black and white: if you fail to make your own retirement provision the choices you will be faced with won\u2019t be nice ones like deciding between staying home or travelling or whether you will spend the day playing golf or lunching with friends but stark ones such as whether to carry on working even though your body is screaming to stop or retire and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/health-and-families\/health-news\/up-to-750000-elderly-people-forced-to-choose-between-food-and-heating-their-homes-this-winter-a6760361.html\">choose between eating and heating<\/a> because your meagre state pension won\u2019t stretch to both.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are in your 20s with a long career ahead of you or in your 50s and approaching the end of your working life if you aren\u2019t already saving for retirement, what is stopping you?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you struggle with a lack of knowledge and understanding around retirement saving?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have negative emotions towards retirement?<\/li>\n<li>Is other expenditure taking priority?<\/li>\n<li>Do you think you can\u2019t afford to save?<\/li>\n<li>Are you afraid of facing the future?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these are entirely understandable worries and concerns, and you\u2019re certainly not alone if any of them apply to you, but the ostrich approach to difficult questions has never been a good one! Procrastinating over retirement saving is only going to make the situation worse because the shorter the amount of time you have to prepare for your retirement, the harder it is going to be. The advice is clear: START SAVING NOW!<\/p>\n<p>As a first step, you\u2019ll need to work out how much you need to save to have the retirement income you desire.
