Explain How a Pension Actually Works

You got auto-enrolled, a slice of your pay vanishes each month, and you've never understood where it goes. This covers the four things people get wrong: what a pension actually is, why skipping the employer match is leaving free money behind, and the rest in concrete terms. No regulated advice, just what you signed up to.

4. The pot at retirement: a rough example of what regular contributions could grow to
