UK workers: are you having to delay your retirement for financial reasons?

We’re interested in hearing from people in the UK who are having to delay their retirement for financial reasons.

We are particularly keen to hear from people who thought they were on track to have saved enough into their pension pots to allow them to retire soon, but are now finding this is not the case.

Whether your invested pension products have not been performing as expected, your pension savings cannot keep up with inflation and the higher cost of living, or whether you’re having to push back retirement for other financial reasons, we’d like to hear from you.
