We all know that pensions are important, but most of us rarely think about them.
Still, with a little time and effort, you can make your workplace pension work as hard as possible for you – and at some point in the future you’ll be very glad you did.
In this episode of the This is Money podcast, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert talk pensions: why you should start early, the reason it’s all about free money, how to invest for a richer retirement many years from now and beyond much more .
Also on the agenda: what happens if you get stuck in a mortgage with your ex. Why is Lee so irritated by a sneaky insurance tax that is rapidly rising and can M&S’s sales and share price revival continue?
And finally, in a bizarre turn of events, listen to the ending if you want to know where Lee buys his socks and Georgie gets her underwear.
