New, recently published research suggests that the UK could be heading towards a perfect retirement storm.
The study, by Standard Life, reveals that one in five (21%) of those aged 45-65 who have financial plans in place to provide for their long term future are no longer feeling confident their financial plans will support them. Around 6% in this age group who aren't already retired don't think they will ever be able to retire, equating to over three quarters of a million people.
Of those who have financial plans in place to provide for their long term future, 64% of 45-65s feel confident that their financial plans will support their future post retirement. Around 21% of these adults no longer feel their plans will support them into the future, with a further 10% having never felt confident.
Around 37% of 45-65s have no financial plans in place for their long-term future, and yet 72% of people currently aged between 45 and 65 who aren't retired think they will retire between the ages of 61 and 70.
