Financial column with Simon utton, rom the Hadlow Edwards Partnership
The BIGGeST nancial dcision you will vrmak. You av workd ard or 40 yars andyou now nd your mony to last 20, 30 or moryars..
At Hadlow Edwards we specialise in helping people make
the most o their money.
Recently we have been approached by many people who
are about to retire and are thereore very interested in
understanding their options to make the most o theirutures.
Typical questions include:Wat incom do I nd?Wat tax r cas can I gt?how can I ovrcom infation?
Tese are just a ew o the excellent questions we deal
with. So what should you look to do? Here we outline a
simple 10 point plan.
1. ake a little time to plan and prepare. Seek proessionalhelp. A nancial adviser will help you with the ollowing 9
steps and hence work out a plan best suited to your needs
and objectives.
2. Establish what pensions you have got. It is amazingjust how easy it is to orget a pension rom way back. Go
though all your employment history with your adviser.
Tat way you can be sure you have not missed anything.
3. Decide whether you want to ully retire or semi-retire.
4. Establish a new household budget. Identiy expendi-ture which you know will cease and what new expenditure
(eg hobbies, more travel) you will have.
5. Understand what State Pension you are entitled to andwhether you want to draw on it now or later.
6. Decided how much tax ree cash you want to take andwhat to do with it.
7. Tink about paying of any debts you might have.
8. Determine how any lump sum you have should gener-
ate income now and or later. Do you want a guaranteedincome and do you want it to rise over time.
9. Understand what employee benetsyou may have lost and whether you need to
replace them (eg health insurance).
10. Finally, a good adviser will help youthrough your options and thereby allow you
to concentrate on enjoying your hard
earned retirement.
Taking control ovr your rtir-mnt nancs could b simplrand asir tan you tink.
