I don't like the idea of annuities and think drawdown is better

My first reaction is don't just dismiss annuities - the grass might look greener the drawdown side of the fence but it might not be

My top 5 tips are:

1 Work out how much income it is sensible to take - see my pages on sustainable income

2 Make sure you understand the risks of drawdown e.g. risk of running out of money or making bad investment decisions

3  Decide how you are going to invest your drawdown pot - this is much more difficult than you think

4 Don't forget about tax - make sure you taking income in a tax efficient way

5 Get advice - see my pages about why it is important to get advice
