I had a work pension that I had to take at 60. However, as I was still working, I wanted more flexibility in how I received the money from 'this pot'. I also wanted to invest this money so in the event of an early death my sons would have access to anything that was left.

Billy has been very good at explaining the various options available to me, the best way of drawing on these funds and in calculating what I can expect to live on when I get to retirement.
