Hello {!firstname_fix}, Tomorrow is Pension Tracing Day! This day was founded last year to help people across the nation trace their pensions and find lost pots they didn't even realise they had. Shockingly, there is
£19.4 billion worth of pensions currently lost or forgotten. Some of that could be yours! This got us thinking; What else do people not know when it comes to their pensions? Although many of us have a basic understanding of pensions and what they entail, most people may not know the depth of them. As a result, people may not realise they are missing out on money, or don't realise the vast number of ways they can help their
future finances. We also want people to get the most out of their pensions. So, we've put together a boxset of all the must-know pension info, just for you. From tracing missing pensions to knowing the pros and cons of topping up your pension, we have plenty of info just for you. It's not just all in this boxset, either. We have hundreds of articles on MoneyMagpie focused on this topic. You can check them out here. |
