Why should I bother with financial advice when planning my retirement?
Sponsored by Old Mutual
A revolution in the way workers can access their pensions means we have more freedom than ever to access our cash and spend or invest it as we please.
But with this comes even greater responsibility on individuals to make sure they make the best decisions to get the retirement they hope for.
That stands behind the recommendation for many approaching retirement to seek financial advice - but with many put off by the cost of advice, is it really necessary?
Adrian Walker, retirement planning expert at Old Mutual Wealth, joins This is Money editor Simon Lambert to discuss how to make a good plan for retirement and why advice is worth it.
He reveals the top considerations for planning a financially-sound future.
He also tackles the million-dollar question – how do you know that you’re getting good financial advice if you do go to see an adviser?
He also looks at whether there are times when the cost of advice is not worth paying for - or will not getting advice end up costing more in the long term?
These questions and more are on the agenda – along with a reminder of expenses you may not have been considering.
