Your pension mix<br />
For the smoothest mojitos, gently crush some mint leaves and lightly squeeze lime<br />
in a cool tall glass. Pour some sweet syrup or sugar on top to cover and fill glass<br />
with ice. Add Bacardi Rum, club soda, and stir your emerging mojito well. Garnish<br />
with a lime wedge, a few sprigs of mint, toast, sip, and enjoy Bacardi mojitos with<br />
your friends.<br />
Saving for your pension may seem like hard work and retirement may seem like a long way off but it’s<br />
important to start early. Just as the extra effort for a cocktail can be well worth it, the extra effort for your<br />
pension can be worth the effort too. Here Nick Claxton, a pensioner of the Scheme, shares his view on<br />
the importance of saving for the future.<br />
Nick Claxton<br />
Nick is a pensioner member of the Defined Benefit Section of the Scheme,<br />
having retired from Bacardi in June 2007. He lives with his wife Ann in North<br />
Baddesley, has two children, who are now grown up, and one grandchild.<br />
Balancing paying AVCs with other spending meant that Nick postponed<br />
paying into his pension until the mid 1990s. Yet he urges current savers to make<br />
plans for retirement: “You should start saving as soon as you can, even if it’s just<br />
a small amount each month. At least make a start! I wish I’d started paying them<br />
earlier, even if it was only £20 or £30 a month, but hindsight is always a fine thing.”<br />
Since retiring Nick has enjoyed having more free time and not having to get up<br />
early to start work at Bacardi at 8am. He’s been spending time on some building<br />
work at home, playing golf, going to Old Trafford to see Manchester United play<br />
football, where he is a season ticket holder, and he has also travelled within Europe.<br />
