Carefully saving money in a pension is all well and good, but if you make the wrong decisions when it comes to retirement, much of your effort can end up being wasted. Our guide to annuities and other retirement options will help you to avoid the pitfalls.

We start with a look at annuities, examining what types of annuities are on offer and how to choose the best for your circumstances.

We then look at income drawdown, which is a popular way of taking money from your pension pot without needing to buy an annuity.

The final article looks at funding long term care, an area that sometimes gets overlooked when it comes to retirement planning.
