Reconsidering retirement?
You’re not alone The pandemic has rendered retirement unaffordable for many people.
A recent study9 found that 15% of those over 50 years of age and still in work, plan to delay their retirement by three years on average, while a further 26% stated that they now intend to continue working indefinitely as a direct result of the coronavirus crisis – a total of around 1.5 million people.
The financial situations of many workers may have been constricted over the last year or so, impacted by possible weaker investment returns and a labour market which is under pressure, with many experiencing job losses. Mature workers may be facing limitations for well remunerated ‘second act’ careers, combined with the prospect of longer life spans, to find that retirement is going to be a more costly period.
