Retirement is something most of us look forward to − particularly on a Monday morning. However, those thoughts are often little more than a whimsical cocktail of not having to work and prolonged holidays. The reality could be rather different.

In a report published earlier this year updated calculations from the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association showed that a couple who wish to enjoy a moderate standard of living in retirement now need a net annual income of £43,100 (£44,900 in London). Not planning adequately for your later years could have a serious impact.
