Death is a drag, but your pension doesn’t have to be. With a little planning, you can leave your partner a tiny financial pillow instead of a giant tax headache. And if you’re single, you can rest easy knowing your contributions weren’t wasted—they helped fund the system for everyone else.
So go ahead, have that cup of tea, check your pension record, and smile. You’ve got this. And if you don’t? Well, at least now you know who to call—and what to expect when the final episode of your story wraps up.
