The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan retirement questions in plain steps. Rough age band: [e.g. 40s, 50s, early 60s] Pensions I know about: [workplace, old jobs, none yet] Debts still going: [roughly] Whether I've checked State Pension forecast: [yes/no] What worries me: [optional] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. An ordered checklist of facts to gather. 2. Official places to check (GOV.UK State Pension, MoneyHelper, Pension Wise eligibility in general terms). 3. Questions for a regulated adviser if I use one. 4. What not to do based on social media tips. 5. A reminder this is not a retirement income forecast. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. This is help organising my own numbers and wording, not financial advice; point me to MoneyHelper, GOV.UK or Citizens Advice for guidance, and to a free regulated debt adviser if I'm struggling to pay. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
