On this special bonus episode, we're doing something new! We're going to hear from PensionBee customer, Tara-Jane, as she tells us her pension story in her own words. From starting early at 17 years old, to the impact of ignoring her pension for 20 years - it's been a rollercoaster of retirement decisions.
With the help of pension pro, and VP Brand and Communications at PensionBee, Rachael Oku, we'll unpack the tips you might want to take from Tara-Jane's story. There are useful lessons for every saver in this episode, whichever stage of retirement planning you're at.
