Summary
Pensions are seeing a boost in participation—with 17% more people saving—but confidence remains low: only 40% feel their retirement will be comfortable. Women lag behind, with 24% having no plan at all, compared to 17% of men, and they’re less informed about how pensions work. The new auto-enrolment program, My Future Fund, has already signed up over 800,000 people and invested €550 million, but many still don’t understand fees or their statements. Experts urge everyone to review their plans—even just a quick chat with an advisor can make a big difference. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
