As we get ever-closer to the Autumn Budget, we're seeing plenty of headlines about what the Chancellor could, might or may change
Some of those stories may ultimately prove accurate. Others won't.
The problem comes when speculation encourages people to make significant, and potentially irreversible, financial decisions before we actually know what's changing.
Taking money out of a pension, selling investments or changing a long-term financial plan shouldn't generally be a knee-jerk response to a newspaper headline.
Sometimes the right decision will be to act. Sometimes it will be to do absolutely nothing. The important thing is making that decision based on your circumstances and the facts, not the rumour.
If you're concerned about something you've read ahead of the Budget, speak to your financial adviser before making changes.
