Recent research from pension company Standard Life found that almost half of UK adults don’t know how much is in their pension. Even if you do know exactly how much you’ve saved so far, the bigger challenge is gauging how much you’ll eventually need.

In the second episode of our four-part podcast series, we discuss the three retirement living standards set by Pensions UK to give you an idea of how much you can expect to spend over the course of a year.

We also look at how much you might need in your pension to reach these annual incomes, as well as what you can do to boost your retirement savings, whatever your age.

Which? Money editor Jenny Ross is joined by experts from across the industry, as well as people at different stages of retirement planning.

The remaining episodes in the series will be released weekly on Mondays.

The government has announced that it's replacing the lifetime Isa with a new savings product specifically to help first-time buyers. But what will it look like?

In this episode, we’re joined by our mortgages and property expert Sam Wilson who outlines what the Lisa is, how it’s helped first time buyers, but also how it’s hampered certain house-buyers from accessing the government bonus because their property was too expensive.

The new account will only be targeted towards first-time buyers, removing the element of the Lisa that helps those save for retirement. Rachel Vahey from AJ Bell shares her concerns that the self-employed will need more support to save money for later life.
