Dreaming of retirement can bring to mind ideas of a steady pace of life, more time for hobbies and relaxing trips abroad. But what happens when that doesn’t quite go to plan?
In this episode of Which? Money, our pensions expert Holly Lanyon shares her research into retirees and reveals how their experiences compare to their expectations.
Holly explores the unexpected realities of retirement, including the time some Which? members and members of the public spend on caring responsibilities, and why some wish they’d known more about financing planning while they were still in work.
Plus, we hear from Stuart Anderson, who retired in 2025, about his experience of adapting from a busy full-time job to a slower pace of life.
