When it comes to your retirement, it's easy to stick your head in the sand thinking you are too young, too busy and too cash-strapped to worry about the future. Or maybe you're discouraged by all the bad news about pensions? But as the nation's favourite money man explains, even the recession is no excuse to stop planning ahead. But where do you start? And who should you trust? In this step-by-step guide to pensions and building financial security, Alvin Hall separates the myths from the realities, and shows how a little planning and action today will empower you tomorrow. From the very first step of visualising your retirement, to creating a sound and flexible investment plan that allows you to make the most of your money - whatever your circumstances. Review: Plan Ahead with Alvin Hall - If you are in a position to plan for the future with regard to your pension provision, then this book is among the classic ones to read. It reassures you if you have left it a bit late since it will take you step by step as to what you can do to improve your future. If you want to make an early start and you are still reasonably youthful, then this book will be much easier to follow and implement. There are many tips and ideas within this book and if carefully read, much of it can be implemented realistically. One of the best tips is not to rely upon your house to provide the neccessary equity to give you an income in retirement. The well known financial guru Alvin Hall will take you through all the steps in a simple and effective way. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to make a start in making provision for their future. Review: Useful and informative - I bought this book to help my elderly mother decide how to best invest her savings for retirement. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a private pension to rely on. This book is full of useful information and it is clearly explained. Best of all, it is made for the UK and not the US market, which is completely different. It has also helped me to better understand what I want for my retirement and how to start accumulating it. I have always loved Alvin Hall's entertaining and chatty style. He brings passion and fun to finance. You can't really ask for more than that!

Essential reading for graduates, apprentices and other young people!
Only giving this 4 stars because I wish this was read when I was in my 20s. As it is, little can be done when in one's 60s. Unless that is I ever win the lottery!

Clear Forward Planning
Alvin Hall lays out in clear how to plan for later life and your retirement. If you have not thought about your retirement this book will give you an idea of what you should think about and helps you put a cost on what you need to have saved / invested, if used properly between now and retirement you will hopefully have enough money saved to have a happy, carefree and enjoyable life - after work. Thank you Alvin Hall, I found the information very useful and in 20 years look forward to my own retirement.

Alvin can do no wrong in my eyes.
I've been a huge fan of Alvin for years, and wish he's do another TV programme in the UK. I credit Alvin entirely for making me financially literate. This book is written in his usual style of not holding back with tough messages, but managing to be very likeable and human.
