What do I need to think about?
- Think about your position now. For example, how long is it until you retire? What savings do you have? Do you already have some pension from previous jobs?
- Ask your employer if they run a scheme and whether you are eligible to join it.
- Read any pension information your employer gives you.
- Think about your future career and retirement plans.
