Can anyone help. I'm 68 next birthday. I want to save £25.00 per month to provide a cushion for my wife when I bite the dust. I recently gave up working for a well-known supermarket chain. I had contributed to their pension plan for 18 months or so. Would it be an efficient way to save by continuing to contribute to this pension plan, despite not having the company's contribution, or are there more effective alternatives? Any advice gratefully received.
