RECENT WEBCHATS AND WEBCASTS

Even if you missed the web chat or webcast you can still see what was said after the event

Saving for Your Pension

Two years on since the start of the credit crunch and we are now finally seeing the effects hitting Britain’s pension savers where it hurts according to the sixth annual Scottish Widows UK Pensions Report. While saving for retirement has slowly been on the rise in recent years, the latest Report reveals that countless people have saved less because of the recession, with women over 50 being the hardest hit.

In order to avoid falling into this trap, see what was said by Scottish Widows savings expert Ian Naismith who was on hand to offer some straightforward guidance on how to prepare for your retirement.


Demise of the Default Retirement Age

At the end of July the Government announced that the Default Retirement Age would be dropped by October 2011. No longer will employers be able to make staff retire at the age of 65.

Good news for us all! Or is it?

Tony Clack, Founder of Laterlife.com and Laterlife Learning, wrote an analysis of the implications of this, which was published on the Guardian Online a week before this latest announcement.

Read his full analysis and give us your views of what this will mean.



Scale new heights with laterlife.com

The laterlife.com climbing wall at the Retirement Show at Olympia on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th July was a huge success. If you haven't yet seen the photos be sure to do so.

 

Almost 200 people enjoyed climbing the wall over the 2 days with an amazing number reaching the top. The two eldest to reach the top being 75! It truly was a great example of how retirement has changed and how those of us who are retired are up for the opportunities retirement presents and the chance to try something new.
