According to the latest Great British Retirement Index from Flowercard, downsizing and relocating could be one way to ensure you save money while surrounding yourself with the most opportunities to enjoy once work is no longer a priority.
The experts behind the index analysed the average cost saved when downsizing to an array of towns and cities around the country, as well as population size and the availability of amenities.
