Build a rainy-day fund<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emergencies can strike when you least expect. You should typically have six months\u2019 worth of essential expenditure in an easy-access savings account. This could help pay the bills if you suffer a period of unemployment or cover unexpected emergencies like your boiler or car breaking down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a rainy-day fund reduces the risk of going into debt or tapping into savings you\u2019ve earmarked for longer-term goals, such as your child\u2019s university education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-create-a-financial-safety-net\">2. Create a financial safety net<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While no-one wants to think about illness or death, it\u2019s important to ensure your children would be financially supported if the worst were to happen to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/whats-financial-protection-and-do-i-need-it\">Income protection<\/a> pays out a proportion of your salary if you suffer from a long-term illness and are unable to work. This could help you to keep paying the bills, childcare, school fees, or after-school activities, so your children\u2019s lifestyle isn\u2019t unduly affected. Income protection policies vary, so make sure you seek financial advice on which one is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth considering life insurance, which could provide an important financial safety net should you pass away prematurely, paying out a lump sum if you pass away during the policy term. This could help to pay off the mortgage, alleviating some of the financial pressure on your family at a stressful time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also check you have an up-to-date will \u2013 this allows you to appoint guardians for your children and ensures your money and assets go to the right people after your death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-invest-in-your-kids-future\">3. Invest in your kids\u2019 future<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding money to set aside for your children\u2019s future might be challenging, but if you can afford it, it\u2019s well worth doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/true-cost-university-and-how-fund-it\">cost of university<\/a>&nbsp;rising and house prices considerably higher than five years ago, your child could face significant financial pressures as they enter adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may wish to keep your money in a savings account because investing tends to involve more risk than holding cash, history shows that over long periods, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/why-long-term-investing-matters\">stock market tends to perform better<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing relatively small amounts of money each month could grow into a sizeable sum over time, particularly if you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/saving-university-it-pays-start-early\">start investing early<\/a>. Our analysis shows that if you invested \u00a3100 per month over ten years, your child could have a pot worth nearly \u00a315,000, assuming investment growth of 4% a year after charges but before inflation (2%). If you invested the same amount over 18 years, they could have a pot worth over \u00a331,000. If you invested \u00a3300 a month, these figures would be around \u00a345,000 and \u00a395,000, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great way to invest for children is through a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/how-save-for-your-child-with-a-junior-isa\">Junior Individual Savings Account<\/a> (JISA). Investment gains are tax free, and your child won\u2019t be able to access the money until they reach age 18, at which point it will automatically convert to an adult ISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-focus-on-your-pension-and-savings\">4. Focus on your pension and savings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve taken time off work to look after your children, it\u2019s really important to look for ways to top up your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/private-clients\/our-services\/pensions-and-retirement-planning\">pension savings<\/a>. Your retirement might seem like a lifetime away, but&nbsp;stopping or reducing pension contributions&nbsp;for only a few years could have a big impact on your quality of life in retirement. The good news is there\u2019s still plenty of time to get your pension back into shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is to protect your state pension. The full state pension is worth almost \u00a312,000 a year and while this alone isn\u2019t likely to be enough to live on, it can take some of the pressure off your private pension savings. To qualify for the maximum amount, you need to have paid national insurance (NI) contributions for 35 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not working, you\u2019ll get NI credits automatically as long as you claim child benefit and your child is under 12. You can still receive these credits if you\u2019ve claimed child benefit but have opted out of receiving payments (for example, because you don\u2019t want to pay the high-income child benefit charge).<sup data-fn=\"b815cea2-075b-433f-bd2b-e81e4354ac06\" class=\"fn\"><a id=\"b815cea2-075b-433f-bd2b-e81e4354ac06-link\" href=\"#b815cea2-075b-433f-bd2b-e81e4354ac06\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to consider topping up your workplace or private pensions. Pensions are a cost-effective way of saving for retirement because of the&nbsp;tax relief&nbsp;you receive on personal pension contributions. This means a \u00a3100 pension contribution will only cost you \u00a380 if you\u2019re a basic-rate taxpayer, \u00a360 if you\u2019re a higher-rate taxpayer, or \u00a355 if you\u2019re an additional-rate taxpayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you aren\u2019t working, you can pay up to \u00a32,880 per year into a pension, and you\u2019ll still benefit from 20% tax relief, meaning your contribution will be grossed up to \u00a33,600. If you receive any cash gifts or inherit some money, saving it into a pension could really boost how much money you have at retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s really important to get a clear understanding of how much your pension is likely to be worth in the future and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/cost-of-retirement-has-risen-how-to-plan\">how much retirement income<\/a>&nbsp;that could generate. That way, you\u2019ll know whether you\u2019re likely to achieve the retirement you want or need to prioritise your pension savings over other financial goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re facing a pension shortfall, one option could be to increase your pension contributions while reducing or even delaying saving into your child\u2019s Junior ISA until they finish nursery. That would still give you around 15 years to build up their savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-get-some-financial-advice\">5. Get some financial advice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have several competing savings goals \u2013 your rainy-day fund, children\u2019s futures, and retirement \u2013 it can be difficult to know how to balance them all. This is where getting some financial advice can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By understanding you and what you want to achieve in life, a financial adviser can help you decide how much you should be investing \u2013 and where. They\u2019ll also check you\u2019ve got the right protection in place, so you can feel confident you\u2019re doing everything you can to build a more secure financial future for your children.
