Your Guide to Retirement is a printed guide is designed for people 6 to 12 months from retirement to help them make informed financial decisions by the Consumer Financial Education Body (CFEB) .

This guide is designed to help people make informed financial decisions around retirement.  A key life stage, but one where CFEB research found many put off making important decisions due to a lack of knowledge or understanding of the issues.

The guide is in a tabbed format that allows easy navigation between subjects. The guide includes topics such as pensions, entitlements, managing money, tax, saving and investing, lifestyle choices, health and care, inheritance and bereavement.

Copies are available by emailing careers@ciat.org.uk
