EVERYTHING You Need To Know About Pensions (State, Workplace, SIPPs & more) - Wealth By Alex
Description
Alex from @wealthbyAlex joins me on this episode of the podcast to discuss all things pension. This episode really is a 'crash course' in absolutely everything that you need to know about pensions.
Alex is extremely knowledgeable on pensions and if you have any type of pension then this episode will be extremely helpful to allow you to cut through the noise and jargon surrounding pensions.
Pensions are often misunderstood, but they are one of the best (if not the best) ways to grow our wealth and then retire one day.
In this episode we discuss the state pension, defined benefit pensions (DB) and defined contribution pensions (DC). On this last one, these DC pensions include both workplace pensions and SIPPs (self invested personal pensions).
We ran through common misconceptions, how to make the most of your pensions, when to consider switching platforms, fees, funds, and a lot, lot more (timestamps below).
