New Fish to Pensions

Hi All,
Currently 39 didn't start paying into a workplace pension until a few years ago. My dilemma is do i open up a Private pension or just pay more into the work place pension? I am thinking about having a private one as well as a workplace one but not sure where to start? I have also read about the LISA which im eligible for only for a few more months so do i do that as well or instead of a private pension. Lol this all just makes my brain hurt.

  • If you increased your company pension contributions would your employer contribute more?  This would be free money.

    Are you a higher rate taxpayer?

    LISA adds flexibility.

    No they would not increase their contributions.
    No not a high rate taxpayer
  • Do not let the opportunity of LISA go!
