Why save for retirement?

Saving for retirement is extremely important. People are living longer and leading more active lives in retirement. As a result it is more important than ever for you to think about where your income will come from when you retire. Pension saving is one of the few areas where you can still get tax relief. About 50% of the people working in Ireland are members of pension arrangements.
