This is Money: Pension blues
Welcome to the This is Money Show on Share Radio, brought to you in partnership with NS&I. Retirement just got more complicated this week with proposals put forward to raise the state pension age to 70 whilst further question marks hang over the triple lock. Pensions seem to be the subject of wider controversy though as we hear nearly a fifth of women are retiring without any personal or company pension. Saving up anything for retirement also got more challenging this week though with the latest inflation statistics. A temporary peak or will the Bank of England finally move on interest rates? Answering all this and more Georgie Frost is joined by Editor Simon Lambert and Consumer Affairs Editor Lee Boyce. Also this week we find out how banks and cheques are getting a 21st Century upgrade.

Divorce rates are down, but what should you do if you want to separate?

Divorce rates are down, but what should you do if you want to separate?
Divorce rates have fallen to their lowest level for over 40 years. Figures from the Office for National Statistics show just over 130,000 marriages broke down in the UK in 2013. That's down almost 3% from the previous year. That's coincided with the recent rise in the number of couples choosing to tie the knot over the last few years, partially reversing a decades long trend of declining marriage and rising divorce. So, does living together before getting married mean a stronger union? And what should you do if you can no longer stay with your other half? To discuss this, Share Radio's Georgie Frost was joined by Collette Bailey, partner in the family team at Gardner Leader law firm.
