  • Start saving into a pension scheme as early as possible as this gives the pot more time to grow.

  • Most young people start to think of saving into a pension after they have bought a house or had children as they think these things are more important. Don’t leave it that late.

  • Start with small contributions if you need to, putting a small amount in early is better than leaving it later and having to put more in.

  • Make additional payments to an employer’s scheme, as most employer’s schemes will only provide a top up to the state pension.

  • Anyone who is self-employed should consider paying at least class 2 National Insurance contributions in order to keep the state pension for retirement but seek advice.

  • The older you are, and nearer to retirement, the more you should pay into a retirement fund, if you are able to.

  • There are other ways to fund retirement for lump sums as well as income such as ISA’s.

  • Check what age you can claim your state pension Check your State Pension age

  • Check your national insurance record which affects the state pension you will get Check your National Insurance record

  • The best time to start saving into a pension for most people was ten years ago, but the second best time is today!
