Saga: Tomorrow's retirees could learn a lot from today's
Those planning for their retirement may do well to follow the example of those in their 80s who worked up until the standard retirement age, according to data from Saga.
Research by the older people's service provider suggests that those wishing to enjoy an active and affluent retirement should make provisions for their later years sooner and work for a longer period of time.
The data indicates that less than a fifth (18 per cent) of retirees in their 80s have not been able to afford the majority of they want to, in comparison to 30 per cent of those in their 50s who took early retirement.
Chief executive of the Saga group Andrew Goodsell comments: "The experiences of people already enjoying life without work should act as an example to those who want to ensure an active and affluent retirement."
In recent days, Sainsbury's Bank advised people to examine their financial situation as the new year begins in order to better manage their money.
