The new retirement: will your pension be enough?

Hello,

I hope you enjoyed the first part of my series, The new retirement, and that this week’s piece interests you too: it’s about whether we’re saving enough for our retirement, how much we should be saving, and what – if anything – can stop entire generations slipping into pensioner penury.

Do you know how much your pension pot will be – or how much you need it to be? Will the new state pension make up for any shortfall in your private pension income?

Please let me know what you think of this week’s article – and what you’d like to see in later chapters. I’ve got two months to delve into this issue and I want to answer the questions that you want to ask. I’m currently researching what it’s like to still be working in your late 60s and 70s. Do get in touch by emailing new.retirement@theguardian.com if you’d like to share your experience.

All the best,

Amelia
