An Important age – 55!

In today’s financial world reaching 55 carries with it certain opportunities. 55 is the minimum age at which one can take most pension benefits (with the key exception being the State Pension which is no longer age 65 for most people).


It is also the minimum age at which a person can take out a Lifetime Mortgage.

OPTIONS AND SOLUTIONS!

While there is much uncertainty politically in our and other countries, we can maintain our own personal financial stability by following sensible and proven rules. One of the first is to ensure that you have more money coming in than you spend! This certainly will keep you in the “Happiness” zone described by Charles Dickens, in one of his books.


This principle applies to individuals as well as groups and businesses and even countries.


To achieve this you do need to have a bit of organization in place so you can see all that comes in

and all that goes out. Much more could be done to help educate those growing up so that they do

grasp such basics and also learn the patience of setting money aside for a special purchase rather

than having to buy things immediately on impulse.
