Thanks, Caz. I don’t think there was any excuse for not at least mentioning the pandemic, to be honest. I like your proposed title for the 2022 edition!

Perhaps it would have just become too complex so it was easier to leave it out. Coming in 2022 will be “The Good Pandemic Retirement Guide Now Half Of You Reading This Will Be Broke”. Fantastic review, Nick!

Thanks, Sarupa. I take your point, but this is an annual guide and it should reflect the situation applying in the year concerned in my opinion. It is a useful guide for some matters (such as pensions and benefits) but I do still find the lack of any mention of the pandemic somewhat surprising, not to say bizarre.

It sounds like a good resource still and something we all hope to enjoy, our retirement !

Thanks, Rhian. Yes, it’s important to be well prepared for retirement.

But it’s good that there are some books out there to help people approaching that period x
