James Horton is spending the start of his retirement in debt

Retiree James Horton is now stuck with a £2,500 loan repayment every month after taking out a £180,000 business loan in 2019

“I realised from working in the solar sector for over 20 years how big of an issue this really was, so I decided to set up the company and four years down the line, and we were thriving.

Looking back, Mr Horton said he was glad he didn’t dip into his retirement savings in the end to expand his business but now, a lot of his monthly income, which comes from his pension pot, goes towards paying off the loan.
