Almost two thirds of over-50s wish they had started saving towards their retirement at an earlier stage, new data from Aviva shows.

Close to half (49 per cent) of over-50s regret not saving for their pensions sooner, while 64 per cent said they wish they’d started saving sooner.

More than a quarter (26 per cent) said they did not start saving for their pensions until after they turned 30 – with 51 per cent of those who did not start saving until their 30s saying they did not feel financially stable enough to do so.
