This year’s Pay Your Pension Some Attention campaign is fronted by Ross Kemp. The campaign draws parallels between physical and financial fitness, encouraging everyone to take three simple steps to strengthen their pension:
- Stretch your mind – Track down any lost pensions from previous jobs – they could give your retirement savings a real boost. Visit Gov.UK to get started.
- Check your form – Log into your pension accounts and use tools like Money Helper’s Pension Calculator to see if you’re on track for the retirement you want.
- Work out your future – Use the Retirement Living Standards to picture the lifestyle you’re aiming for and how much income you’ll need to support it.
