Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Planning for retirement can seem daunting, boring - or both. Boring, because it is traditionally seen as a subject for sad people who are already picturing themselves as old and grey decades before they actually become so.
Fear of the technicalities involved also plays a part. Yet, despite it all, we know that planning makes sense. We are moving towards a painful new world in which we will be forced to take more personal responsibility for our retirement.
Knowing and understanding some of the language reduces the fear, while acting now ensures that you never need to worry about your retirement again. The Independent has produced a free Guide to Pensions Planning, which explains in clear, straightforward language the best options.
The 52-page guide discusses the pros and cons of joining company pensions schemes and gives an indication of what you should be saving to ensure a decent income. It explains the simplest ways to top up a pension and when it might make sense to start a personal pension. Finally, it discusses options for those coming up to retirement.
Copies of the guide are available free by calling 0800 137372, or filling the coupon above.
