Why Become An Entrepreneur

The words “become an entrepreneur” we hear more and more these days as well as all the reason why we should become an entrepreneur.

With hundreds of books written on the subject of entrepreneurship it’s clear that its a growing trend and more an more people regardless of their age or experience are becoming inclined towards a new way of earning their living and having the freedom to choose when and where they work for example.

In our particular case having had our own accountancy and management consultancy business to become and entrepreneur online was a natural progression and we are able with our experience to now pass on what we’ve learned to people as old or older than ourselves as well as the younger generation following on.

We will never say however that you should not get a good education because a good education gives you more choice.

This motivational video “Become And Entrepreneur” says it well

Retirement Realities Revealed

What can you expect from retirement in the UK today? We’re about to share with your the top retirement realities revealed in a recent report.

Interestingly we’ve been putting in a lot of research in the world of retirement from pension advice to finding out what people really want to do in retirement (and it’s not always about money)

Top Retirement Realities Revealed

People are keeping on working

‘Semi-retired’ is in vogue, with 30% of people approaching retirement planning to work part-time well into their retirement years. For many it’s going to be a necessity just to be able to maintain the standard of living they are used to but for some it’s just because they want to keep busy and they enjoy working. Believe it or not it’s the top of the retirement realities. Some people just want to keep working!

The “Property Thing”

According to research last year less than 7% of those approaching retirement plan to use a buy-to-let or second property to provide for their retirement income. It seems that ‘buy-to-let’ is no longer in vogue.

We can certainly testify to that having recently sold a buy-to-let property to release the equity. Back in 2005 this was the top investment advice being given for those approaching their retirement in order to create a nice pension nest egg. Sadly no one could have predicted the worldwide recession and the effect that had on our nest egg and many others. Therefore this change features high on our list of retirement realities revealed.

Debt Is On The Increase

According to research 30% of people had debt when they reached retirement, with the average amount of debt at £34,600. Sadly the prolonged recession has seen those approaching retirement having to take on debt rather than reduce it just to get by with their daily living

Average retirement income

The average retirement income is just under £20K a year. That seems very low and certainly can’t imagine ourselves living on that. The reason cited for this is that the average person approaching retirement (aged 50+) is expecting a retirement income which is 32% higher!

The Happiness Factor

Happiness in retirement means roughly half of your pre-retirement income according to research. Those who are satisfied in retirement say their income level is 47% of their pre-retired level, highlighting it as the magic number. That’s an interesting one for sure!
