Whilst we were aware that our potential retirement required careful consideration we soon learnt that we should have taken professional advice sooner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2b2155;\">We were in the fortunate position of having accumulated various pensions and some investments, however, we had not considered important matters such as whether to obtain protection for our pensions. It became clear that had we sought advice sooner I could have enhanced the sum above which additional taxes are payable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2b2155;\">However, the real benefit for us has been the detailed planning exercise that got us thinking in a much better and more informed way than we would have, had we simply used our own budgeting and spreadsheets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2b2155;\">Now, we have a plan, based upon agreed assumptions, that\u2019s built upon our future lifestyle choices.
