How to pick an investing account, plus demystifying scary pension headlines
On this episode of the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast Danni and Laura pore over the latest pension headlines that suggest we’ll all have to save more and might have to work for longer. The pair consider that all this bad news might be just the thing many women need to get them motivated to think about the kind of retirement they want and start planning how they can afford it. (Spoiler alert: just engaging with your finances is a great start.)
They also take you on the second part of our investing 101 journey with AJBell’s pensions and savings expert Charlene Young, who talks through all the different accounts on offer when you start out investing, to help you pick the right one for you.
