Currently Playing: Does Retiring At 65 Make Sense?

Amlan Roy is an expert in demographics and has advised governments all over the world. He wants governments to change how they think about retirement and looks at data regarding the whole population rather than individuals. He says the way our population is changing is at the heart of all the big issues we’re facing today, not just pensions.

The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We explain the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor.
