What's the point of a pension?

No matter how far away you are from retiring, you’ve probably given some thought to how you’ll spend your time when you get there. But thinking about how you’ll afford that dream retirement lifestyle isn’t quite as much fun. In the first episode of our four-part podcast series, we go back to basics to explain how a pension differs from a normal savings account, and how you can best prepare your finances for the future. Which? Money editor Jenny Ross is joined by experts from across the industry, as well as people at different stages of retirement planning. The remaining episodes in the series will be released weekly on Mondays.
