Jim looks at the financial options available to the Police family post retirement:
Some retirees think that as soon as they stop, our support stops. Not so. In fact you’re still eligible to all products and services post retirement as you were before. In particular, the online Retirement Centre is open for those wishing to find out more about investment options, second careers, starting a new business, making a CV, wills and estate planning, volunteering and how to keep fit and healthy.
I suppose it’s easy to settle back and take a long rest, but we like to encourage retirees to stay mentally, physically and financially active. I’ve always believed that one of the biggest risks is doing nothing.
For example, think about your commutation. Inflation will erode into it and it’s likely that its value will drop in real terms. In 1950, £500 could buy you a house. In 1960, a car. Now, it’s a flat screen TV. So it’s really worth looking at your savings and investment options.
Of course, I’m not here to advise on what’s best for your particular circumstances, but I wanted to give you some things to consider.
