Be more financially savvy than 90% of UK residents
Most people in the UK have a pension. Almost none know if it’s enough.
Casually ask your friends sometime:
“Will you have enough for retirement?”
It doesn’t matter how old they are. In the UK, most people can’t answer this fairly fundamental question about their post-work life.
Many people have a workplace pension. They’re contributing 5%, maybe 10%.
But if you ask, “Will that be enough?” — most people don’t know.
For something that will determine 20–30 years of your life, that’s a remarkable level of uncertainty.
The Comfortable Illusion
Having a pension isn’t the same as having a plan.
Let’s be honest. Whether we contribute 5% or 10% is a finger in the air guess. Most people pick their pension provider because it’s convenient.
Yet small differences compound massively over decades. Choosing the right structure can have an impact comparable to doubling your salary over time.
A Better Way to Think About It
Instead of relying on rules of thumb, imagine being able to simulate your actual future.
That’s the idea behind A Few Quid.
You input your details (and maybe your partner’s) and the simulator projects what your retirement could realistically look like. It’s an extremely advanced and personalised simulation that’s unlike anything you’ve used before.
The Real Cost of Not Knowing
The difference between a decent financial decision and an optimal one is rarely obvious in the short term.
But over the course of your life, the impact is huge. In the above simulation, a medium risk pension earns £13M less than a high risk pension. This is a far higher impact than
Run Your “What Ifs”
We’ve all pondered about big life changes.
With a few clicks, you can explore questions like:
What if we have another child?
Should we buy a second home?
What happens if I max out my ISA every year?
What if I retire five years earlier?
This helps you make the right decision, which can save you millions.
Right now, clarity costs five minutes of your time.
And that’s a small price to pay for knowing whether “I think I’ll be fine” is actually true.
So try A Few Quid.
