We explore the crucial seven year gap between retiring at 60 and receiving the State Pension at 67, including how much your pension pot needs to provide during those early years.We also look at sequence of returns risk, why the first few years of retirement can be the most dangerous for your money, and how keeping a cash buffer could help protect your investments during a market downturn. Along the way, we cover pension withdrawals, tax, the frozen Personal Allowance, real retirement spending and how the State Pension changes the amount you need to take from your own pension.
