Let's dive into a key question for Pension Awareness Week: How much income will you need in
retirement?

The Retirement Living Standards from the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association can be a good starting point. They categorise retirement lifestyles into three levels: minimum, moderate, and comfortable. Swipe below to find out more about which level may suit you best.

To succeed, build a pension pot that can provide your desired income. Contributions from employers, your own savings, and additional investments add to this pot. By investing in a pension, you enjoy the initial tax relief boost and tax-free growth over time, maximising your returns.

The secret to success? Start saving early.

The value of your investment can go down as well as up. You could get back less than you invested.

Taxation rules can change at any time and are dependent on individual circumstances.

After your early-stage has made some sales, it's tempting to look at your bank balance and think you're in a great position. But even with healthy customer numbers and revenue, in a small and growing company, things can get bumpy quickly if you don't implement sound financial-management measures.
