Best book I’ve read on retirement in the UK
I was delighted to find that Jonquil’s book goes far beyond the books I’ve read on retirement so far. It’s full of useful and practical advice for people planning to retire in the UK.
Starting with working out how much money you’ll need to inform savings through your working life Jonquil goes on to cover investing to make your money work for you, pensions, benefits, tax, ways to save money, and releasing money from your home by downsizing.
The book then looks at what you can do with your retirement from hobbies to paid work and volunteering to share your knowledge and skills with others. There are whole chapters on the health aspects you need to consider, holidays in retirement, caring for elderly parents and even on getting your affairs into order so you can get on with enjoying your well earned retirement.
There is also a really useful separate Directory of useful contacts you can download. This amounts to 46 pages of organisations and links arranged in the same order as the book contents.
The book ticked all the right boxes for me by talking about finances in the UK, looking at some of the many things you can do with your well earned retirement time, through to health aspects. All in all it’s the all round best book I’ve read on retirement so far, and I’ve read a few. Whether you’re still planning ahead for your retirement, about to retire or already retired I would thoroughly recommend reading this book.
I was given this book from the author via netgalley only for the pleasure of reading and leaving an honest review should I choose to.

Great book, it covers pretty much everything you need to know about retirement and subjects that you probably hadn't thought about. From budgeting, pensions, tax, investments, decisions about your home, retiring abroad, leisure activities, starting your own business, looking into paid work, volunteering, health, holidays, caring for elderly parents, tax and wills when you pass away. Clearly that is a lot to get through, so the book is a great place to start your research. The other thing I should mention is that, this book is for the United Kingdom market.

Very useful, good up to date information and everything you need in one place. Can refer to chapters or read from start to finish. Gives to a starting place to go and seek further information if you need to. Thank you #NetGalley for the e-book to review.
