Holidays the most popular cash-in plan for pension schemes
Posted on
According to a survey carried out by ABTA, the Association of British Travel Agents, the most popular thing that 55-75 year olds are considering doing with their private pension pot is spending it on ‘the holiday of a lifetime’.
Following new government legislation which means that people aged 55 and over can withdraw their money from their private pension pot at any time, 20% of those polled said that they had considered withdrawing money from their pension pot early.
Out of those, 35% were considering spending money on a holiday, making it the most popular thing to spend withdrawn pension money on. While the majority were planning to take holidays 7-14 days long, 14% were also considering taking a holiday over a month long.
Given that people are sensible with their pension money, being able to use some hard-earned money on a dream holiday can be a great way to recharge the batteries, and gives people the chance to explore some great countries, such as Italy.
