The number of early retirees fell to 1.1m in the period November to January - down 7% in six months.

A new report from the Department for Work and Pensions has revealed that 38% of pension savers are ‘undersaving’ for retirement.

There was a time when retirement was a line in the sand. You retired from your job, received a carriage clock from your employer and headed off into your sunset years with a decent pension and plans to play a bit more golf or do some DIY.

Demand for retirement advice has increased because of the current economic situation and future changes to the funding of social care, according to a new report.
