Get To Grips With Your Workplace Pension
Your workplace pension is a valuable way to save. It gets you extra money from your employer and the government. And an early start can have surprisingly big benefits – thanks to the power of compounding. Saving relatively small amounts in your 20s and early 30s is the best route to being a little richer when you retire.
Legal & General’s workplace pensions expert and friend of the show Kim Brown is back to chat with our host Kia Commodore about easy ways to make your pension work for you.
They cover everything from pension investments and what happens to the money you save into your pension to how much of your salary should be put in and what happens if you move jobs.
