๐ Rethinking Retirement: A New, Sustainable Approachย ๐
Hello, Academy family! ๐ We've just published a compelling piece that questions the prevailing financial strategies and highlights how they predominantly benefit bankers at the expense of the general public. ๐ฆ๐ฐ
๐ Are we truly benefiting from channeling billions into the stock market, or is it just a scheme to enrich a select few? The common tale of facing a 'cliff-edge' at retirement is not just misleadingโit's harmful. It's time to uncover the truth and explore the vast opportunities that exist for active, prosperous lives post-retirement. ๐
๐ต๐พ๐ด๐ฝ It's time for a major shift! Instead of policies that fatten banker bonuses, we advocate for strategies that support sustainable livelihoods into old age. Why increase pension contributions to 15% or even 22% when integrating active income strategies might mean 8% is quite adequate? Let's rethink our approach to ensure everyone benefits.
๐ We're calling for the creation of a Comprehensive Financial Resilience Commission to champion this cause. This body will help integrate active income generation with robust savings plans, creating a resilient financial system that enriches everyone's future. ๐๐ช
๐ก Join us in pushing for policies that prioritise our collective economic and social well-being over the interests of a privileged few. Dive into the full article [Link to the article], share your thoughts, and let's mobilise together for a financial system that truly cares for every citizenโs future. ๐ข๐ฅ
