Retirement plans
Article Abstract:
Those undertaking financial planning for retirement must balance the level of income they require and the cost of any property they may wish to purchase. If they have property to sell, they must ensure that the money raised is invested in such a way as to gain a reasonable income but not be too risky. It is worth considering the Sun Banking Tessa Plus, as this offers the highest fixed interest rates currently available. It is also worth looking at National Savings, which are guaranteed and do not place capital at risk.

Plumping up pensions
Article Abstract:
There are a number of issues to take into account when establishing likely income levels in retirement. When deciding whether to pay off a mortgage, consideration must be given to attitudes to risk. For higher rate tax payers, the after-tax return obtained on any investment income will not be as high as the mortgage interest repayments. It is worth considering taking advantage of being able to invest 3,000 pounds sterling into a cash Mini-Individual Savings Account in the current tax year.
