It’s honestly sad. I think part of the problem is poor financial planning. People either don’t save enough or don’t invest wisely during their working years. I’ve seen cases where retirees outlive their savings, and that’s terrifying.

Absolutely. Another issue is that many don’t diversify their investments. My dad relied entirely on his pension, and when unexpected expenses hit, it became a struggle. Inflation eats away at fixed incomes, too. That’s why I’ve started working with a financial advisor.

Same here. I remember losing a chunk of my portfolio during the 2020 downturn. That’s when I decided to stop trying to manage it all myself. My CFA, Joseph Nick Cahill, has been a game changer. He offers free consultations, and his advice helped me restructure my investments for both short- and long-term stability.

Exactly. I’ve heard of people burning through their savings by making emotional decisions-like selling stocks during a dip or chasing risky investments. A good advisor like Joseph Nick Cahill can keep you on track and ensure you’re prepared for all scenarios.

Dont forget to grow an instant access emergency fund (possibly mostly un premium bonds) of 3 to 6 months expenditure - its crucial to have this so that you ding gave to sell shares when the market is down. When the market falls it often coincides with when people need to fall back on some savings.

Luckily I had a great father and the best advice he gave me at 22 was to open a private pension, as at the time I didn't have a workplace pension. I now have a workplace DB pension and the pot I accumulated in my private pension.

Agreed, that is a very valid point, I work in finance for over 25 years, I think pensions are very much misunderstood, and the current Government and previous decided to raise the retirement age it is disgraceful (we know why, people are living longer), plus one will be taxed either at the start of the process - when you work (via National Income/TAX) or at the end of the process when you come to withdraw your hard earned cash from the pension. One should look at pensions as part of a good retirement plan with other types of assets or investments. The days of Golden pensions are long gone for most of us. Check out the HMRC Pensions Tax Manual. for example of limp sum commutation examples. I fear future governments will try to raise the age yet again.

Great video. I worked for a very large and well known company and have recently become a pension rep. Its a voluntary role but I'm passionate that all employees, particularly the younger ones, get educated to know their options available. The company only offers DC now to new members but its pretty generous at 8+12 but some newer joiners are still in the auto enrollment level. Fine that everyone's situation is different when it comes to what they can or want to save but I just like to make sure they are aware if all the options and figures. I'm really enjoying it.

Good stuff ! Very informative. I worked in the financial services industry for around 8 years leaving around 1994. I then went work for a good company that had 1/60th scheme and AVC contribution got this down to 56th scheme (22years service) This year it folded because the final salary scheme costs a fortune to maintain so I am now in a DC scheme ! Because my employer closed the DB scheme they are giving us an £8000 x2 bonus into the DC scheme. I am 58 now and tend to bail out in 2 years at age 60. My only concerns at going at 60 is I will have to mantain my NI contributions ! Draw down all the way. Taking benefits from DB scheme ! I could pass away and my kids wouldn't get a penny unless I elected for this hence reducing my pension. Thanks for sharing

In my younger years I had a few pension plans with various employers but they were only short term as I used to change employers a lot.

@@goodlifeliving1667 If you're in the UK and auto enrolled there is likely some level of matching. I've never had to worry too much about hitting contribution limits though. For taxation, 20% relief is applied by the broker, if you are a higher rate payer you put extra on a self assessment or I expect there is another form to claim with.

Thank you for your explanations. I am now 73 years old and I heard I should have claimed pension when I was 65 but this I didn’t know. I started applying and get it since 2021 November-December. Am I not allowed to have the back pension (even a portion) of which I did not claim before for several years?

I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45

Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near-retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for a while now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I netted over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know

I've recently gone into a workplace DB pension. I was massively sceptical about pensions for a long time and there always seemed to be a bad-news story about them. Other reasons I didn't go in earlier (or opted out in my case) were that wages v cost of living means that many younger people, who are often on lower incomes or lower pay bands, have a lot of expenditure on various things relative to their income so a pension contribution is just extra on top of that. Also, I personally know of people who have gone up a pay band but the extra income they got in salary was cancelled out by the increase in pension contribution and, in some cases, they actually took home less a month than they did on the lower band. That's not always the case but, as I said, I know people who have found themselves in that situation. I've had savings and investments for quite a while, so it's not like I had nothing but I came to realise it probably wouldn't be enough plus, I was nagged into joining the scheme! Looks like that was a good decision!

I do love a pension video, thanks! I think I saw some content you did on salary sacrifice a while back which was really helpful too, I've just learnt that salary sacrifice is limited by the minimum wage which I wasn't aware of before. Given the upcoming N.I increase I think more people will be looking at their salary sacrifice schemes in the hope of recouping some of that cost.

@tonychan8558
@tonychan8558 2 жыл бұрын
Great video, and also convinces me I made the correct decision very early on in my life.... don't have a pension. I remember hearing something 20 years ago that for every pension amount paid out, (roughly) 28 people are paying in. By the time I retire, that number of people will be reduced to 3. i.e. less people paying in. The government knew this years ago; why do you think the government has incentivised people paying into their pension fund, as mentioned at 4:04? Because they know one day, they won't have enough money to pay out! Since then, I was (admittedly) very stupid with money, and only eliminated my personal debt at the age of 37. Now, I earn a higher-than-median salary, and I still refuse to get a pension, for three simple reasons. 1.) I work abroad. 2.) £100 now was worth a lot more 20 years ago, and will be worth a hell of a lot less in 26 years' time, when it is time for me to retire. 3.) Due to my health and lifestyle, I will not live beyond 68 years old. I have no family, so what am I saving money for? The future is not guaranteed. I choose to enjoy life now, hence all the stamps I have in my passport, rather than putting money in an imaginary pot I may never see again in my lifetime. I have chosen to put all my savings into NS&I, so that I can get to it whenever I want to. Also the chance to win £1 million is quite nice!

Very good video. I'm fortunate to have a DB pension which if I continue with till I'm 65 coupled with my state pension should mean I have an income similar to what I earn now which is a reassuring thought. I have a small four figure S&S ISA and a small three figure SIPP that I found from an old employer. At 42 years of age with the benefit of my DB pension in wondering if I should invest monthly to my ISA, SIPP or split evenly? I'm also investing into a junior ISA for my son. I wish I'd known more about investing when I was younger.

Thanks so much Mathew for the good work. You have taught me so much. I have learnt so much in 3 day watching your channel than I did in 30years. I have a question, I work with the NHS, I want to know is it possible for me to have another private pension outside my NHS pension? Secondly will that affect my ISA account which I invested in S&P index with vanguard? Thanks, looking forward to hear from you.
