    State Pension cannot be touched, the Soc security contributions were made based on an agreed undetstanding, that one would receive a fixed state pension for life after a certain age. By changing retirement age, already the agreement is broken and by trying to introduce means testing would be criminal violation. With cost of living gone up 3 fold so current rate of 884 pet month is insufficient, true pension shpuld be as per economists is minimum of £2,770 per month.

    If state pension is means tested it WILL put you even more on the poverty line as you have no further means of increasing your income without losing benefits. Believe me I know I am now looking at retirement and currently live in australia. Unless I continue to work full time I will not earn enough to be able to afford to lose the pension - but if I don't work I will always be behind the eight ball - don't let it happen in the UK

    In the UK many pension providers have various pension products, it’s worth spending time to research them all and grow your pension if you are more than 10 years from retiring. I left my pension in this default things for a long time, then less riskier funds. Now am more comfortable with high funds with a trace record, I am invested in funds that beat the market consistently.

    I do not buy into this idea other countries are better than UK. May be they may have better weather, and maybe even nice food, and may be some nice scenery but when you go on ho,iday, it's not the same as living in that country. I recon if you live abroad it's best to do it when younger, but for elderly people I wouldnt leave what you know so quickly. Often other countries havent got the free medical treatment or even as advanced as UK even though NHS is in a mess. Plus, moving late in life you may not have friends or family to rely on when you are in need. I think living abroad isnt as easy as people think, especially if done as a older person. I know some one who's parents actually lived in Spain but actually came back to UK when they got old because they just didnt have the support over there. I dont know their circumstances but getting old isnt always easy, and I think when we do, we need familiarity, and support. If I had my life again, I would have left UK as a younger person, simply because I just dont like the weather, and it's got worse. We hardly have a summer, cant string a week of sun together, if we get a week of sunlight its followed by rain or dullness. Dont get me wrong, I love rain and snow, but for me it's the inconsistency of our weather in UK that gets to me, we can have all the seasons in one day, its erratic and makes me feel scatty. When I was a kid, winter was winter and summer was summer, and autumn was autumn and spring was spring. Now there isnt such distinctions and I miss a good summer, I want at least 3 months of good sun, regular, but never happens. If we got 3 months of sun, it prepares you for winter, but we just dont. I also think cost of living is too high, but I recon that would be the same in most countries now, whether its food costs, rents, travel, I think every country has high living costs, may be not the same area, but they will have them. The world is crumbling imo.

    Throughout my working life I paid into a personal pension, it didn't really interest me and I left it to my advisor which was a mistake. Some of these people it seems are in it for themselves only. My pension was moved to different companies quite a few times and I now realise it was probably down to inducements and bigger management fee's for her. Now I have both pensions combined and while in a "safe," fund are accumulating nicely. Needless to say the advisor is gone but the inheritance tax is a worry.

    The worst aspect of lifestyling is that it takes no account of the strength of the bond market when the assets start being sold off to buy into bonds, classic one-size-fits-all but as we all know your retirement is probably one of the most unique and personal things you will ever plan in your life, lifestyling goes against that. The lifestyling can be as bad as 75% in bonds which is crazy when you need that final push towards the handover into retirement. The lifestyling kicks in at a low point and it's like just taking your foot of the accelerator on the hard-shoulder and letting the car just coast along on whatever car's engine can manage, everyone else is passing you by at 70 and you're oblivious to the fact that you're not getting anywhere. I engaged with an IFA this year and it was one of the first things to be discussed and checked, they still advise use of bonds but only as a "smoothing" mechanism to ride out the worst of any sequencing risks and even then they said max 3%-5% of the fund is permanently held in bonds just as a small buffer so when you start drawing you can bump over down turns in equity performance for a couple of months.

    The Pension companies (who probably know a bit about asset allocations) do not do a lot about making it easy to move back into equities.

You have to be prepared to accept greater volatility brings greater risk but I’ve seen big gains the last few years even though I retired last November just short of 64th birthday.

    From my own experience, I've left and in some case sought out funds that are a minimum risk level 5 and in many more cases 6, 7 and even 8. My reward has typically been 10 to 12% p/a growth. Why on earth you would de-risk when you might have 30 years in retirement is beyond me! Methinks, this "life styling" is a myth created by pension providers who are providing extremely poor advice and guidance. My regret is that I didn't take charge of matters long before, when I could easily have doubled or even trebled what is now, thanks to my input, a very healthy pot.

      It's possible but it depends on the year. In 2022, people who had a high bond fund lost huge amounts of money. The people I know are hoping to retire in 2026 as a result. So, a four year recovery period. Let's hope there isn't another crash in that time period.

      There are James Shack videos on this. Look for titles such as the 4% rule. My understanding is that a diversified stocks/bonds portfolio is less likely to burn out due to withdrawals combined with investment losses in the early years. If, as here, you have other assets you can draw on (e.g. ISAs, after they lose their IHT advantages) then you can consider investing more in stocks, if you can live off other sources during a 1-3 year crash. Equally if you start drawing down and see 10% portfolio gains for a few years, you might consider “banking” some of the outperformance by moving it into cash or short-dated bonds, or making larger withdrawals (into ISA savings, say) than planned if you don’t start paying 40% tax.

      @@kinggeoffrey3801In 2021 and early 2022, interest rates were very low. The ECB was even at -0.5% for a few years. Rates were very unlikely to move lower than that, but if rates were to increase from there then bond holders would lose out. As happened to your friends, unfortunately. With hindsight, it would have made little sense to go into bonds in 2021-22, given that their largest possible price moves were down. Is it better now? On the one hand, rates are 4-5% in many countries, so “rates up 2%” and “rates down 2%” are realistic “large move” possibilities. On the other hand, the debt/GDP ratios of many countries are getting to 100% or more, so if bond investors start demanding larger coupons then that would increase long-dated rates and cause losses…

    Lifestyling is another example of bad "advice" that you can guarantee that nobody giving it would actually follow unless they intended to take an annuity. What is worse is that as shown by the recent bond rout it actually made it worse for a a large number of individual approaching retirement who saw substantial drops in the value of their pension when it was supposed to be in low risk investments.

    Great video, thank you for covering this subject. I have lifestyle funds in a pension drawdown account with Aegon. If I change to a non-lifestyling fund do I risk triggering the MPAA. I have taken only tax free cash so far but don’t want to accidentally trigger the MPAA, so have refrained from doing anything else. I recently changed my other uncrystallised funds to ones with more equity and less bonds but was too scared to touch the funds in the drawdown. Everything I have read suggests I am ok to change them but I want to be sure.

    • @dwinpenny

      No, the type of investments has no bearing on whether you trigger the MPAA but you probably shouldn't take advice from a random on RUclips. Just Aegon that specific question and they will answer you.

    Full on life styling might be over the top but you have to diversify when you get close to retirement rather than put it all in risky equities. Or you are exposed to sequencing risk.

      You might retire at 50 and live till 90, that’s a lot of growth to miss if you’re out of equities.

      @PaulB-q3d yes, which is why you have to be careful and compromise. A decision made due to FOMO about growth could mean you lose a lot and run out of money if there's a big dip early in your retirement and you end up living a long life.

      With about 5 years to go for me I see retirement as a balancing act. You have to balance your portfolio to make sure you get returns in line with what you're taking out, and you need to balance time spent managing it against time spent enjoying all the new free time you have. You can't spend every day worrying about your money as time will pass you by. I recently got in touch with a pensions IFA and the best part was learning about the subtle management they do, they advise pulling some of the portfolio into bonds and out of equities but that's only to smooth out the sequencing risks, you can't avoid them completely but you can smooth the bumpy ride when they happen, the "engine" of growth is still in the equities and the skill is in managing that distribution to keep the growth going, ideally to try to get more coming in than you will spend but at the very least keep the downward spend on the fund under control. I worry enough now that I won't do a very good job and that's why I've chosen to hire someone who can take that stress away. It's 1% of the fund a year but if it means I almost never worry then it's money well spent as you can't put a price on a good night's sleep! Ha ha!

Within just a year, my retirement fund grew by 55%!

    I never liked the lifestyle funds even when annuities were the only option. Better to have a small portfolio of good funds. I know many colleagues with these plans who are sleepwalking to a poorer retirement as a result.

    Good advice Dianne. I had my workplace pension with Scottish Widows and as I approached my chosen retirement date my money was automatically moved into "low risk" bonds, shortly before the Liz Truss 2022 bond crash! Luckily a few months prior to the crash I took control and moved out of bonds and back into equities...a very good move! I've since transferred into a SIPP and haven't looked back. So much more control and freedom, plus lower fees!

    State pension cannot be touched because its a committed pension payments and is not open to change based on means testing, which can only be done if credit payments are optional and state pension is not.

    State pensions are not benefits, they are an annuity payment for all the years in the past that state pension contributions were made.
