Pensioners Savings - Be Prepared

The time to start thinking about pensions and retirement is now. With the average lifespan of people in the UK increasing consistently, retirements are becoming longer and thus more expensive. Worrying a large number of people are not preparing themselves properly.

The current generation probably spend more of their disposable income than previous generations and unless attitudes begin to change, the level of pensioner savings will become drastically low. It is up to you, the person reading this, to make the change now.

Here at Pensioners Savings we aim to educate, inform and motivate the ordinary person so that the pending pensions crisis can be averted. It's going to be a long process for some so the earlier you start learning, the better.

So How Much Do I Need To Save?

Here is a widely used, sensible calculation to approximate how much you need to put aside each year:

Take you age and divide it by two. Then save this percentage of your income each year for the rest of your working life.

Thus, for a 22 year-old it would be advisable to save 11% of his or her income.

Compare this to someone starting a pension at 30. They would have to save a massive 15% of their income in order to receive a retirement wage that would give them the essentials of life such as a roof over their heads and food on their plate.
