    How can I get a financial makeover and set up a private pension?

    17 June 2022

    Question by Alan

    Can you recommend someone who can give me a financial makeover? I have been living on health benefits for 13 years, and I want to see if there is something that I can do to improve the state of my finances. Also, I need to set up a private pension.

    Hi Alan,

    Thank you for your question.

    A financial adviser may be able to help. They will charge for their service or may require a minimum investment value. Sometimes this is £50k+.

    You may also want to research a money coach. Normally a more straightforward approach than full financial advice. A money coach should be able to help with your request - again, they will charge for their services.

    If you visit the '

    find an adviser
    ' section of the Boring Money website, you can find local financial advisers that you can contact.

    Hope that helps.

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.

    Risk warningAs is always the case with investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
