Translate a Pension Statement Into Plain English

Pension statements arrive annually and go in a drawer unread by most people who receive them. The fund value, the projected income, and the investment allocation all mean something specific and are all worth understanding. This translates your statement into plain language and tells you what, if anything, you should do next.
