Sam's story

Meet Sam

Sam has recently retired after a long working life and is beginning to adjust to having more free time. It took him longer than expected to feel financially ready, but he’s now looking forward to making the most of this stage of life.

He’s someone who likes to stay busy, and while he’s enjoying the change of pace, he’s still finding his new routine. He’s planning a special trip he’s been thinking about for years and wants to make the most of it.

A recent health diagnosis has made him think more about how he looks after himself. While he tries not to worry too much, it’s made him more aware of the importance of staying well in retirement.

What happens next

Sam has already been through the retirement process, including:

• Reviewing his options
• Deciding when to take his pension
• Starting to receive his payments

Now, his focus is on staying healthy and enjoying this new stage of life.
