    You can start a pension until you reach your 75th birthday. You can have as many as you like.

    Whether you've been using pensions before or not, 52 is not too late to have a pension.

    Since you can start to take money out of a pension at 55, an advantage of starting late is that your money needn't be tied up for very long.
