It's more important than ever to find out how best to make your own provision.<br /><br />If you've got any questions about pensions, there's free information and guidance, especially for women via the Pensions Advisory Service(http://www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk/women--pensions).Simonne Gnessenhttp://www.financial-coaching.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-71259743307075946772011-02-07T11:34:54.941+00:002011-02-07T11:34:54.941+00:00Ceri - a really valid point.

The over 55's are the group who find it the most difficult to gain employment. Of the new jobs created in the past 12 months 93% have been only part-time and although there is legislation is in place to counter age discrimination, there is a long way to go for attitudes to change towards a more mature workforce. Unfortunately there seems to have been little thought into how we bridge those transition years from an employment perspective.Ceri Wheeldonhttp://www.fabafterfifty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657034165252893744.post-20073471304927364982011-02-07T10:01:58.092+00:002011-02-07T10:01:58.092+00:00Sadly this is me!
