Pay your pension some attention

As the face of this year’s Pay Your Pension Some Attention campaign, the TOWIE actress urges people to cast aside their worries about wrinkles and instead prioritise their retirement savings.

In the launch video Gemma shares three simple steps to help you plan for your retirement:

1. Find out if you have any lost pension pot savings 
   Do you know where all your pension savings are? You may have more than one from across your working life!
   It’s really important that even though you aren’t paying into these pensions you keep track of where they are and how they are doing. This way you can ensure that that your hard-earned money isn’t lost.

2. Log in to your pension account and check what you’ll get when you retire 
   Do you know how much you have in your pension pot today? Log in to your pension account with Legal & General to find out.
   They have a new app out now, that makes it even easier for you to manage your pension whenever and wherever you need to. Find out more here. You can also make sure your contact and beneficiary details are up to date, which can give you peace of mind. 
   Head over to Manage Your Account to check in on your pension savings. 
   
   
   
3. Picture your future self and how much you’ll need 
   What are your dreams for the future? Do you know what income you might need in retirement?
   It may seem a long way off, but by taking some simple steps to start planning today, you can look forward to your future with confidence!
