8. Bex's Story - Early Retirement from the Civil Service

We chat to Bex, who is a regular at the Sheffield and Nottingham community meet-ups (for details of these, see our community link below). She is a civil servant and is looking at retiring early so that she and her husband can enjoy more free time together. Bex's retiring early means that she may have to wait for access to her civil service pension and we talk about building a 'bridge' fund to provide an income to cover this period.Along the way we talk about quality of life, work/life balance and aligning your retirement with that of your partner. We also discuss setting a good example for children and some of the 'de-risking' activities you can undertake to help prepare financially for your life of freedom. the fire place community Support the show
