Here are some tips on what you can do to make sure you can live comfortably in retirement.

It's important to make sure you're maximising your earnings. If you think you're not being paid enough for the amount of work you're doing, ask for a raise.

Alternatively you could consider taking on some freelance work as a sideline to support your income.

You should also have a good idea of what your retirement goals are.

Knowing where you want to be in the future will give you a much better idea of what you need to be doing now to achieve this.

The general rule is that to maintain your current lifestyle in retirement, you'll need to have saved at least 10 times your current salary by the time you hit 67.
