Proactive ways to prepare for retirement

WHATEVER YOUR RELATIONSHIP STATUS, KNOWING HOW MUCH YOU'LL HAVE WHEN YOU END WORK SHOULDN'T BE A HEADACHE

- 

SAVING enough money for retirement can feel like climbing a mountain - but for single people it can be a real uphill struggle, and nearly one in five don't think they'll ever be able to afford to retire.

Scottish Widows has found 19% of single people can't see a situation where they'll ever be able to stop work. This compares with one in seven (13%) people who are married or living with a partner who don't think they'll ever have enough money put aside to retire.
