Managing your finances when you’re self employed
Being your own boss can be exciting and rewarding. But there is a downside – no company pension, no PAYE and if you don’t work, you don’t earn. Plus, when you’re trying to keep a business afloat, your own personal finances are often last on the priority list. This time we help entrepreneur, Jessy, understand how to create financial security for her business and herself. Pete Komolafe, founder of Conversation of Money, joins us this week to help Jessy on her path to financial confidence.

CARE AND INDEPENDENCE IN RETIREMENT
Across this series we’ve been hearing from people who are getting the most out of their retirement and living their dreams. But whilst many of us can forget to plan for the unexpected, those who have different needs can assume some plans are out of reach. In this episode Angellica Bell meets Feyi, a sandwich-generation mum whose experiences caring for her mother through dementia inspired her to start a company that she hopes will help others in similar situations. As a carer, Feyi explains why her view of retirement has made her think differently about financial planning. Meanwhile, newlyweds Heather and Alan share their story of falling in love in their 70s, having met on a walking holiday. Alan’s losing his eyesight so he and Heather share their tips for planning a lifestyle that allows Alan to stay as active and independent as he always has been. From the setup in their new flat to choosing a place to live that has everything you need within reach, they take us through their observations. Legal and General’s Sam Roberts and Care Sourcer’s Andrew Parfery are in the studio to chat about the realities of caring for someone later in life. They share their thoughts on planning ahead – preparing for the worst but hoping for the best - as well as resources for further support for those with care needs and their carers. If you’re worried about the financial side of planning for care in retirement, there are also sound suggestions from Sam on how you can fund things.

LOVE AND CHANGING RELATIONSHIPS IN LATER LIFE
Life is full of surprises, twists and turns, and sometimes, so are the relationships we have. In this episode of Rewirement, Angellica Bell talks to savvy retirees on how they’ve navigated changes in their relationships in later life. We meet Jane, who rekindled a connection with an old flame and embarked on a new romance aged 66. And Christine chats to us about how she and her second husband blended their families, with seven children between them! While age does bring the benefit of experience, it doesn’t make the emotions of new and changing relationships any less exciting – or delicate! Psychologist Jo Hemmings is well versed in helping people find new love and communicate successfully, even when emotions are running high and money is involved. She joins Angellica and Legal & General’s Sara McLeish to discuss how big life changes like divorce can impact your financial situation and mean you have some re-imagining to do. Listen for considerations on how changes in your lifestyle and life partner can impact your retirement finances and any inheritance you might want to leave. Plus get some great suggestions for how to manage those conversations effectively.

RELOCATION, RELOCATION, RELOCATION!
If you’ve dreamed of selling up and heading for the hills in your retirement years, this episode is packed with all the wise words, suggestions and inspiration you need! Angellica Bell meets colourful ‘rewirees’ Tina and Jennifer. Tina started planning for retirement in her 30s and took early retirement in her 50s to live in Spain. When Jennifer retired, she and her husband sold their Hertfordshire home and bought a narrowboat to live on. Tina gives some tips on things you can do to make sure you’re well-prepared for the emotional and practical side of living abroad in later life, from making new friends to understanding the language, culture and healthcare. Jennifer explains how she and her husband did some careful planning before taking to an active life on the water. They’ve planned their retirement income to make sure they have enough for any major boat repairs AND a good holiday every year, which naturally often ends up being a cruise! Angellica then talks with Celia Dodd – author of ‘Not Fade Away: how to thrive in retirement’, as well as Legal & General’s Andrew Kail. They’ll help cover off your checklist for relocating in retirement, from doing your practical research and making sure you’re prepared emotionally and financially for any extra costs a new location may bring, while dreaming big.

RETIREMENT AMONG THE LGBT+ COMMUNITY
In this episode of Rewirement, Angellica meets two more inspirational individuals who share their words of wisdom on retirement and talk candidly about how their paths have been different as LGBT+ people. Most of us have questions and concerns about making the move from work to retirement. If you’re LGBT+, it can be especially difficult to see yourself in retirement because of a lack of representation. Fears of discrimination or isolation in later life are often a real worry for many LGBT+ people. That’s why this episode tackles some of those questions and issues head-on. Angellica Bell is joined by Matthew Riley from Tonic Housing and Meg Dickens from Legal & General. They talk about why it’s important to challenge prejudice and provide support and community to help everyone have a happy and secure retirement. Angellica chats to the active Annie, who plans to tour all of London’s lidos after the pandemic! Annie remembers her exciting youth in Stoke Newington and explains why she’s returned to live there now she’s older. She also reflects upon the experiences of lesbian friends who have led different journeys towards retirement age, and all have different financial situations. Patrick explains how his pension and retirement plans changed when he came out as he approached 40. As a father of two, he and his ex-wife worked out their separate paths and Patrick had to re-think finances to fund his later life. He shares how he found a community he loves and has thrown himself into fun and fulfilling activities, from charity work to line-dancing, skydiving and white water rafting!

Our bodies are always changing and managing the psychological aspects of different life stages is essential too. Angellica finds out how two unique retirees have achieved this. Jill is a former teacher with bundles of energy who eased her way into retirement with part-time work, and bought a Sprocker Spaniel to keep pace with her running hobby. Peter’s also a keen runner, but he explains how pursuing an art degree helped him scratch an itch his careers in engineering and journalism hadn’t reached. He tells us his three pillars for staying mentally and physically happy and healthy in retirement. To get some expert ideas and financially savvy suggestions, Angellica’s chatting with Legal & General’s Emma Byron, Managing Director of Retirement Solutions, as well as health coach Susan Saunders.

TRAVEL ADVENTURES IN RETIREMENT
In this series of Rewirement from Legal & General, Angellica Bell is hearing colourful, unique and inspiring stories from people in retirement. Many a new retiree has travel on their bucket list, but the pandemic has seen people put their plans on hold. Looking to the future, there are plenty of other things to consider beyond global pandemics: from escalating health insurance costs to physically ageing, thinking smart about your later life travel plans is the best weapon to achieve your dreams. Angellica hears inspiring stories from June and Elizabeth in this episode. When June was unexpectedly widowed early in her retirement years, she already owned an avocado farm that she’d bought with her husband in Spain. June explains how she took time out, revisited her backpacking, Harley-Davison-riding roots, and re-planned a future where her travel habit was key. Elizabeth and her husband are passionate about globetrotting – meeting new people and experiencing new locations with other travellers. Often the oldest on their adventures, nothing phases her. Next stop: the Northern Lights! In the studio, Angellica’s joined by travel journalist Mark Hodson for some smart words on planning the right trips at the right time of life, and Legal & General’s Claire Singleton gives sound suggestions for how you might fund that special trip, whatever your life stage or situation.
