The podcast to help you make the most of your money
Millions of people have never checked their State Pension forecast — even though it could make up a huge part of their income in retirement.
In this episode, we look at what your State Pension forecast actually tells you, what gaps in your National Insurance record could mean, and what you can do if you find them.
We also look at the latest developments around the triple lock, tax and the growing concern that many of us are simply not financially prepared for later life.
Plus, James Andrews explains the simplest first step you can take today to get a clearer picture of where you stand.
