Why is it worth starting your pension planning early?
Many people continually put off the issue of pension provision – be that due to uncertainty, a lack of knowledge or a feeling that it can wait. However, this can often lead to unpleasant surprises later in life. Women in particular are frequently at a disadvantage when it comes to pension provision: periods out of work, part-time employment and lower salaries mean that they receive far less from the various pension pillars than men.
By getting a clear picture at an early stage, it is possible to identify gaps and purposefully utilize potential for optimization. This will give you more financial independence in the long term and enable you to maintain your accustomed standard of living in old age.
