The amount of money needed for people to achieve a good standard of living in retirement has risen significantly in the last year.

Figures from trade body Pensions UK show a sharp increase in the annual income needed to support a ‘minimum, moderate, and comfortable’ retirement. This has been driven by the increased cost of living over the past year, particularly food prices, energy and transport.

The mortgage market has been volatile so far in 2026 and interest rates look set to climb in the coming months as inflation is expected to rise. Borrowers can take some degree of control with an offset mortgage, which allows you to use savings to either lower your monthly payments or pay off your home loan faster.

But how does an offset mortgage work and is it right for you? Our guide explains more: https://bit.ly/4nUZxP5 🍍

Many parents worry that their children will struggle to find their financial feet in the current environment. Concerns include the flagging jobs market and inadequate retirement savings. Meanwhile, high house prices make it increasingly difficult to take the first step onto the property ladder. These are all factors driving fears that younger generations will face a tougher financial future.

However, there are a variety of investment and saving tools for parents and grandparents who want to support children and grandchildren in building financial foundations. Here we explore some of the main options available. Take a look: https://bit.ly/3PlKz89 🍍

Meet Ben Dent 👋

Ben joined the Pineapple Financial Planning team in 2024, bringing with him over a decade of experience from the pharmaceutical industry - including playing his part in rolling out the COVID-19 vaccine.

Now based in York, Ben has turned a long-standing passion for finance into his true area of expertise, supporting individuals and businesses to feel genuinely confident about their financial futures.

Approachable, down-to-earth, and always team-first (growing up as an Army kid in Germany will do that to you), Ben is exactly the kind of adviser you actually want in your corner.

When he’s not in client meetings, you’ll find him on the rugby league pitch - he plays professionally. So safe to say, he knows a thing or two about strategy and performing under pressure!

Households are feeling less resilient and finances have worsened over the past 12 months, against a backdrop of continued cost of living pressures and global turmoil. These are the findings of St. James's Place’s fifth Financial Health Report, published last week.

But despite the marked drop in optimism, one trend has remained consistent throughout the years of the survey – those who actively engage with their finances experience better outcomes when it comes to their money. The research shows that taking a long-term approach, through planning and investing, tends to lead to higher levels of wealth and financial resilience.

The Bank of England (BoE) held the base rate at 3.75% last week.

But market expectations are now that the base rate will rise during 2026. This is because inflation is likely to go up due to increased oil prices caused by the prolonged conflict in Iran. The Bank of England uses interest rates as a tool to control rising inflation.

In an ideal world, business partners would reach retirement readiness at the same time, exit together, and move on with perfect symmetry. In Elephant’s Child’s experience, that rarely happens. Misaligned retirement plans are far more common than most business owners realise. But there are ways to deal with the situation constructively.
