Pensions Decoded

1 Hour deep dive to finally get crystal clear on where you stand with your pension, how to build towards a comfortable retirement and not miss out on tax breaks

If you’re saying to yourself “I’ll deal with pensions later’, this is for you.

This might sound familiar: Your eyes glaze over as soon as anyone brings up pensions, jaarruimte or pillaar 1,2,3. You know that pensions are important. That’s why you’re contributing every month through work. You think. But if a friend were to ask you over coffee if you’re on a path to enough money in retirement, you wouldn’t be able to fully answer it. And frankly, it doesn’t feel like a right now problem, because retirement is ages away.

But what if I told you that getting on top of your pension this year will be one of the strongest wealth building moves you can make? One that doesn’t need you to work harder or make more money. That’s why I designed this 1 hour deep dive to clear away the financial fog, and help you move this overdue ‘to do’ to ‘done’.

It’s time to give your pension the love it deserves.

Does this sound familiar?

Pensions simply feel complicated and the thought of having to figure it all out makes you overwhelmed in a way that you can physically feel. And besides, you tell yourself, you’re life is pretty comfortable right now and there are more urgent fires to put out, so it goes in the ‘denial’ section in your brain until you finally ‘will have time’.

I hate to break it to you, but that ‘extra free time’ is not going to come. And whilst you keep putting it off, you’re missing out on valuable years of making your money work for you. Years that can make the difference between comfortable retirement and wondering how you’re going to make ends meet once you stop working.

Don’t want to be part of the 4 out of 10 women in their 30s and 40s who are underfunding their pension?

Join and learn why pensions are your ultimate secret weapon to financial freedom!

Hi, I’m Laura, founder of Elevate

Financial freedom isn’t about showing off.
It’s about not lying awake at night worrying about money and having the power to create a life that truly makes you happy. Pensions are a key part in achieving that.

In fact, going all in on my pension early on is one of the main things that allowed me t become work optional at 35.

When I got divorced, I realised how rare it is for women to feel truly financially independent. But because I already understood how to manage my money, I was able to rebuild a life on my terms; choosing happiness, security, and freedom.

That’s the confidence I want for you.

I have a MSc in Fiscal Economics, built and sold a business, became financially free/work optional at 35 and am on my way to complete my Diploma for Advanced Financial Advisors (DipFA) in 2026.

In this deepdive, you’ll go from ‘Pensions are boring and complicated’ to ‘Pensions are going to be my secret weapon ’.

Trust me, once we’re at the end of it, you’ll wonder what actually took you so long to get started.

Don’t miss out. The last thing you want is to miss out on another year of making your money work again.

Pensions are the nerdy girl in the movie who gets a make over:

She was already a 10, but only a few people realised.

You’re working hard for your money.

It’s about time you make it return the favour.

Don’t waste another 6 months thinking ‘I really need to figure this out’.

Join me for 60 minutes and make sure you’re letting your money work hard for you, so you can not just survive, but actually enjoy life when you retire.
