For most students, money is usually in short supply. Accommodation, food, public transport subscriptions and smartphones all come at a cost. And when there’s money left over, students save for their next holiday or to buy their first car. Barely a thought is given to the distant future or life in old age. Retirement is too far off and finances are far too tight. However, this is exactly the right time for students to start laying the foundations for their own retirement planning, because those who act now will have more set aside to live on later.
