The Biggest Money Mistakes before Retirement

Retirement planning isn’t just about the final years before you stop working—it starts much earlier. The financial mistakes you make in your 20s, 30s, and 40s—like taking on too much debt, delaying investing, or ignoring the impact of inflation—can significantly affect your retirement security.

In this episode, we explore the most common missteps at every stage of life and how they can derail your future. 

Learn how to avoid these pitfalls, maximise savings, and build a secure retirement with simple, practical strategies. No matter your age, the right decisions today can set you up for financial freedom tomorrow.
