Summary
Martin Lewis dropped some serious retirement wisdom: if you’ve got cash you won’t touch for five years, investing usually beats just saving—markets may swing, but they tend to grow over time. A 47-year-old listener asked if he should stop investing at 55 to let money grow until age 60, and Lewis clarified the five-year rule is flexible—especially since 60 is just a target, not a deadline. He noted some experts say even three years might suffice, and it’s totally fine to shift to safer, more conservative investments as retirement nears. Plus, a big ISA change looms: starting April 2027, the £20k annual allowance splits into £12k for cash/stocks and shares ISAs and £8k for investment accounts—though those 65+ won’t be affected.
