I can’t possibly afford it : how Covid has dashed retirement dreams Harriet Meyer
For some people, finishing work for good is an appealing idea, with the prospect of travel, spending time with family and enjoying hobbies. But retiring during a pandemic is a different matter entirely.
Travel isn’t currently an option, and for months Britons have been restricted in what they can do and who they can meet. And aside from being physically prevented from fulfilling their dreams, for many on the verge of retirement, Covid-19 has had a financial impact, too.
In 2021 about 680,000 Britons will reach state pension age, according to the Office for National Statistics, but the coronavirus means many are having to think again about when, or even if, they can stop work.

Uncle Graham (Boots) and Aunty Joyce Cooper were stunned to be named joint winners of Brimbank council’s citizen of the year award.
Following the council’s Australia Day ceremony on Tuesday morning, Uncle Graham said they were ‘gobsmacked’.
The two local Aboriginal Elders were honoured for their work in helping tackle broader community issues, advocating on behalf of the community, acting as role models and having fostered more than 87 children.
“We thought we were getting an OAM [medal of the Order of Australia],” Uncle Graham said.
“This award, in my eyes, citizens of the year is a bit better than the OAM … because, it’s the community nominating you and looking at you as community-minded people. The OAM is the government in my eyes.”
