Do you really need to care about pensions yet?
Pensions often feel like something you can safely ignore until you’re much older. They sound complicated, boring, and miles away from real life — so it’s no surprise most people switch off as soon as they’re mentioned. But waiting too long can mean missing out on some really simple wins.
In this episode of Bank of Dad, Kate asks the questions many people in their teens and twenties are thinking but rarely ask, and Pete explains what actually matters right now. No scare tactics, no pressure — just the basics you need to understand so you can make better decisions later on.
In this episode, we talk about:
- What a pension actually is (in plain English)
- Whether you need to worry about pensions at your age
- Why starting earlier can make things easier — not harder
- The simple things worth checking if you’re already working
