Thinking of retiring from teaching in the next 5 years? 🎓

You might be the same age as a colleague, work in the same school and plan to retire at the same time - but your pension position could look very different.

Your pension scheme, salary, service and PRSI class all matter.

That’s why understanding your own position is so important as retirement gets closer.

Something that came up a lot during our recent teacher pension webinars was the importance of looking at the whole household when planning for retirement.

You might be a teacher with a public-sector pension, while your spouse or partner works in the private sector with a completely different pension and benefits.

And sometimes, those two sides are being looked at completely separately.

One adviser looks after the public-sector pension. Another looks after the private-sector side.

But who's looking at how it all fits together?

Having experience across both public and private-sector financial planning means we can look at your pensions, savings, income and future plans together — and build a plan around the retirement you're working towards as a household.

Two careers. Different pensions. One plan.

Retirement isn’t just about what you’re leaving behind. It’s about what you’re retiring into.

For some, that might mean travel, family and finally having more time for hobbies.

For others, it could mean volunteering, starting something completely new — or even returning to work on their own terms.

We’re also seeing the rise of “unretirement”, where people return to work after retiring, perhaps part-time or as a consultant, or simply because they miss the purpose, structure and social connection that work provided.

That’s why good retirement planning shouldn’t only answer:

💭 “Can I afford to retire?”

It should also help you answer:

💭 “What do I want my retirement to look like?”

Your finances should ultimately give you the freedom and flexibility to make that choice for yourself.
