The largest hill on the horizon as you enter your sixties is, of course, your retirement. In your financial life cycle, the main task is to turn your pension savings into an income, as your working life comes to an end.
The most popular way of doing this is by purchasing a pension annuity with your pension savings. This pays out a guaranteed income for the rest of your life, and can be a fixed sum, or can be set to increase each year, in order to account for inflation.
