Long term savings like your pension are one of those things that we know are important, but which many of us haven’t even begun to think about. Well, that’s hopefully going to change after you hear this. Bea talks to Sir Steve Webb, a former government minister for pensions and current Head of Policy at Royal London. He really knows the ins and outs of later life savings, and so takes us through what they are and how we can get some, including explaining auto enrolment pensions. Elemi Atagolo is the CEO and founder of Finley AI, a voice activated financial planning app. He takes us through interest and why it’s so important for our later life savings. Bea also chats to Nick, who is 27 but already is already light years ahead with his later life planning. He explains how he got a grip on things even at such a young age.
