Arriving

If you’re at this stage of your retirement planning, it’s likely you’re 12 months or less from your Target Retirement Age and are looking to take your money.



You should consider how and when you want to retire, so that means taking time to think about things like:



  • How much money will you have?
  • How long will it need to last?
  • Is your Target Retirement Age right for you?
  • What are your options?
  • What your life will look like in retirement – how will you spend your time? Does your chosen retirement option work in line with your plans?
