Painless ways to get pension wise

Tackling pensions can seem like hefty work.

- 

From tracking them down, organising them into one place, or even deciding whether to opt in or out, for some people it can feel like a mountain of admin.

But it doesn't have to be that way ~ and it pays to get your head around your money.

Here, two finance experts share how to make pension management as easy as possible.

What are the quick fixes people can make now?

Greg Marsh, household finance expert and CEO of money-saving tool Nous, says a simple starting point is the government's Pension Tracing Service.

“It's free to use and you don't need to gather old paperwork - you just need the names of your previous employers to get started,” he says.

Kirsty Ross, head of proposition at People's Pension, says that the ability to take small steps when it comes to your pension can have a massively positive impact in the future.
