Around four in ten people retire with no Financial Planning according to a new report.

The scaling back of lockdown restrictions is boosting consumer personal finance confidence with one in seven expecting to increase pension contributions in the next year.

Nearly one in three men (32%) have the financial foundation to retire early compared to just one in six (16%) of women, according to a new report.

The pandemic is not over yet, far from it, and it is too early to predict the long term impact but if there is one certainty it is that many people’s retirement plans are changing.
