The importance of planning for your retirement

On 15 September, we’ll celebrate Pension Awareness Day by shining a spotlight on the importance of planning for your retirement.

Between work, family, and everything else life throws at us, checking our pension isn't always top of our ‘to-do’ list. So, if your answer to ‘When was the last time you checked your pension?’ is "I can't remember”, or "I've been meaning to', you are not alone.

As a member of East Sussex Pension Fund, there's no better time to check your pension. So, give your future self a head start and complete the '6-Step Pension Check-In'.

It’s quick, easy and includes a few helpful nudges to help you find your pensions, understand what you've got, check everything's on track and decide what you'd like to do next.

• Take the 'Pension Check-In Challenge' today.

By completing the 'Check-in' you'll have a better understanding of your pension, such as:

• how much yours is worth
• how much money you’ll need for your retirement - and if your pension pot will be enough
• ensure your beneficiary form up to date.
