Will your Pension be enough to retire comfortably?


Women live longer and still, on average, earn less than men.  Pensions and retirement planning may seem a long way off for many of you but these are critical areas to understand. State pension provision will likely reduce over time and will not be considered adequate to provide for our expected retirement lifestyle.  Planning for your retirement should be a priority and the earlier this is started the more you can gain. 


This session will give a brief explanation of the Belgian fiscal pension rules and how to make the most of them, and what happens if you move from Belgium.  We will also look at “unemotional investing” – how to make prudent decisions for the long term, a vital strategy given the current volatility and uncertainty in the stock markets.

Come along and get some tips to help you have the comfortable retirement you would like!
