Britons stash over £1bn at home as interest rates on savings dwindle

The most popular reasons the 2,000 people surveyed gave for keeping cash at home include being able to s ee it, using it for everyday spending, and convenience.  Many are unhappy with the interest they were making on other savings and a whopping 17 per cent said their savings were generating no interest at all.

Piggy banks are a great starting point for children learning the basics of saving money, but there is a clear opportunity for adults to gather their stockpiles together and make their money work harder for them.  Whether it is under the mattress, in a bottle, or in a sock drawer, that money could be contributing towards your savings goals.

Hourglass“Non, je ne regrette rien”.

Expats in France may be able to translate this famous song title to “No, I regret nothing,” which is ideally what every saver wants to be able to say as they reach the end of their expat retirement planning period and look forward to moving abroad to their own personal paradise.

But not everyone has the initiative to stay on top of their pension pot, and it might be interesting for the younger generation to hear what older workers and retirees have to say about their pension saving experiences and what they would do differently if they could turn back the clock.

With this in mind, research recently released by Aegon, which asked pension savers about which decisions regarding their pensions they regretted the most, could prove very useful and serve as a firm reminder of why sufficient retirement planning isn’t something to leave until the eleventh hour.
