What does your dream retirement look like? L&G’s Retirement Happiness Quiz is helping people define their ideal later life by revealing their ‘retirement persona’ and suggesting tailored retirement locations across England, Scotland, and Wales. The tool guides users through five simple questions about their interests and financial needs, instantly providing a ‘retirement persona’ with a tailored summary and suggestions for retirement hotspots.

The desire for a secure and fulfilling future is widespread. Recent research from L&G found that for a majority of people (61%), the ‘perfect retirement’ means living stress-free without financial worries.

Beyond finances, people envision an active later life, with keeping fit (51%), the freedom to travel (45%), and having time for personal hobbies (43%) all ranking as key components of their ideal retirement. Tying this all together, research from L&G has shown the happiest retirees enjoy an average monthly income of £1,7001, underscoring the need for careful planning to fund these dreams.

Turning those dreams into a reality is achievable with the right knowledge. L&G emphasises that taking proactive steps can make a substantial difference:

• Invest in your future happiness: Starting to save early gives your money more time to grow. For those in employment, a workplace pension is a great foundation, as your contributions are boosted by tax relief and, often, by your employer.
• Create a plan that fits your life: While a pension is the core of a retirement plan, it’s important to understand all the options available to make your money go further. This helps you build a robust financial plan tailored to the retirement you want.

Lorna Shah, Managing Director, Retail Retirement, L&G comments: “Our research has shown that having enough set aside can greatly improve retirement wellbeing and a guaranteed income, through products such as an annuity, can lessen anxiety and create a greater sense of certainty. It’s the difference between simply getting by and really enjoying this next stage of life.” To discover your retirement persona and start planning today, take the L&G Retirement Happiness Quiz here
