If the prospect of saving for a pension terrifies you, take a look at my three-part pensions guide for beginners:

1. Pensions For Beginners: All You Need To Know

In this article I explain what a pension is and look at the tax breaks which you can benefit from. I also examine some of the alternatives to pensions.

2. Pensions For Beginners: Part Two

Here I write about the different types of pension including the state pension, 'salary-related pensions' and the S2P. Don't worry, if those terms mean nothing to you, all should become clear.....

3. Pensions For Beginners: Part Three

I look at the different types of 'money-purchase' pensions including stakeholder pensions and SIPPs.

Hopefully these three articles will make pensions seem less scary. If you want to find out more, read Neil Faulkner's Four-Step Guide To A Comfortable Retirement.
