Retirement is a crucial stage in individuals’ life as it is the phase when people decide to leave the active workforce with sufficient funds to support their golden days. However, it is not the perfect picture, especially in the United Kingdom. According to a new survey of over 2,000 retirees by the investment firm Abrdn Plc (LON: ABDN), nearly 48% of the retirees in the UK worry about running out of money in old age.
In addition, around 78% have not taken any professional advice or guidance regarding retirement plans. Moreover, the survey points that retirees are more likely to take advice from friends and family to avoid the cost of advice.
According to financial planners, individuals should seek advice on retirement plans from experts for a financially better retirement. Also, people should start their investment journey early and have a diversified investment approach for long-term gains. Moreover, investors should keep track of companies operating in wealth management and advisory service providers and seek professional advice for better decision-making.
