Can you afford to retire?

Whether you are about to retire tomorrow or not for several years, completing our Budget Planner will prove worth the effort

Doing the arithmetic will enable you to plan your future life with the confidence of really knowing how you stand financially.

To be on the safe side, you must assume some increase in inflation. You should also budget for a nest egg, to pay for any emergencies or special events – perhaps a family wedding – that may come along.

Download our budget planner , taken from The Good Non Retirement Guide by Rosemary Brown, (published by Kogan Page) and complete in your own time to see if you can afford to retire.
