Pension: women should start saving earlier than men for this reason


Play all audios:


“Women, of course, can no longer rely upon their husband’s National Insurance contributions to assist their State Pension sum either. “The older 1950s-esque system was based upon the man


being the breadwinner, and the woman being the homemaker, but things have changed substantially since then, meaning this is not always the case.” As a result, then, it is often vital for


women to take their pension savings journey into their own hands. Ample preparation for retirement is key, and will ensure women have enough to get them by in their later years.
