When he retired after 25 years as a mechanic, Rob always thought he'd be bored but it turns out he's as busy as ever. He's still doing oil changes and tune up's for his friends & neighbours cars but not out of choice, he needs the extra money. His state pension doesn't provide him with a sufficient income & Angela had to take early retirement a few years ago. She was made redundant from her job as a clerical worker from the local primary school due to ill health. They want to enjoy what freedom they now have together but are struggling to get by, meaning Rob will still be 'on the tools' for quite a while yet.

Angela and Rob are like many people in the UK who haven't made adequate provision for their retirement and relying on their state pension to get by. Urgent attention is needed to their financial situation in order to avoid a potential financial crisis.

This is where attending the Your Money Matters show could really help. With over 150 organisations exhibiting, including government bodies, the UK's largest personal finance event provides the ideal forum for Rob & Angela to seek expert advice about their financial fears. It also provides a platform to ask questions & gain instant feedback on other financial issues, such as illness and injury. Angela's long term sickness resulted in her losing her job and she wants to know if the advice she was given at the time by her employer was accurate and if anything else can be done, she may qualify for more benefits then she's aware of - providing the peace of mind she longs for.
