* 24.6 million people have never accessed any kind of financial advice or guidance
* Among those who have received advice or guidance, 84% say they benefitted mentally or emotionally

What's the Cost of a Comfortable Retirement?

A question we get asked a lot!

* We now have more choices, more information and more personal accountability for our retirement income. But will the future we look forward to be one we can afford?
* The Retirement Living Standards, launched by the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA), helps provide a budgeting benchmark for three different standards of living: minimum, moderate and comfortable.
* If you’re planning your retirement lifestyle, these living standards are a practical starting point for anyone unsure about whether they need to save more for their retirement.
Whether you’ve got 20 years before you retire or just a few, it’s important to have an idea of just how much money you’ll need for a comfortable lifestyle once you stop earning a regular salary.
