Research commissioned by Raindrop reveals that Gen Z adults face significant risks in creating retirement shortfalls due to current living costs, with nearly half expecting to work longer and have savings gaps. More than a third of Millennials also show similar concerns. Vivian Shridharani from Raindrop highlights the long-term financial impact of missing out on early career contributions, which could amount to tens of thousands of pounds lost by retirement age. This study was released alongside data from the Pensions Policy Institute indicating over three million UK pension pots, averaging £6,000 each, are considered "lost," particularly affecting those under 55 years old.

Story summary
Vivan Shridharani, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Raindrop, a pensions-finding platform, warned that younger adults are at risk of sacrificing long-term savings due to high living costs. The research found that nearly half (48%) of Gen Z adults expect to work longer than planned to cover retirement gaps, while 47% fear they will have insufficient savings for retirement. Additionally, the study revealed that over a third (35%) of Millennials, 19% of Gen X, and 18% of Baby Boomers could face similar issues. Meanwhile, the Pensions Policy Institute reported more than three million UK pension pots are "lost," with an average value of around £6,000 each; about 2.5 million lost pots belong to individuals under age 55. Shridharani emphasized missing out on early career savings can result in tens of thousands of pounds lost by retirement due to missed compound growth and employer contributions.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
