Figures published by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) suggest that contributions made into pension savings are decreasing like in 2017/18 when compared to 2016/17. A pension is a long-term investment.

The State Pension is a weekly payment from the Government that you can receive once you reach State Pension age. However the State Pension is unlikely to provide a substantial income in retirement.
