New pension freedoms can offer more flexibility which has enabled many over 55’s to transition into retirement by still continuing to work but with a reduction to their hours and often beyond the traditional retirement age. Tailoring your retirement to your personal needs can help to create a more free approach to this stage of life giving a different balance to work and life. More and more of us value our work life balance, roughly a quarter (26%) of over 50s could see themselves continuing to work while collecting their pension. Though people want the flexibility of more time for leisure, for family, for volunteering and to pursue hobbies and travel.
