Retirement can be a wonderful time to explore new interests and stay mentally and physically active.
However, with the cost of living continuing to rise, many may be forced to cut back on some leisure activities.
A new report from Scottish Widows highlights this growing concern, revealing that nearly two in five people (39%) are at risk of being unable to meet even basic needs in retirement - up from 35% in 2023. The findings are based on research conducted in partnership with Frontier Economics, using data from a YouGov survey of over 5,100 UK adults in January and February.
