Retirement After Redundancy
Can I Afford Retirement After Redundancy?
Mary Waring, founder of Wealth For Women, looks at how to calculate whether you can afford to choose retirement after redundancy. She shares a simple calculation to help you work out your figures, and offers advice on what to do if your numbers don’t yet add up. How can you best save for your retirement? How do you spread your risk? Is taking out an annuity a good idea right now? What choice will help you avoid inheritance tax? Is it a good idea to take lump sums out of your pension? Can you look at property as a sensible alternative? What else could you expect after you retire? Could you start a business?
Finally, a recent Telegraph article pointed out the large numbers of women who are being forced into retirement after redundancy. This interview is full of practical advice for anyone who may be that position.
