Lots of disadvantages too such as being able to access it on a whim and leaving yourself without a retirement pot. A big advantage for pensions is you can’t touch so it forces you to keep it for your retirement. A pension is also in a trust so it doesn’t form part of your estate on death which is good for inheritance tax reasons etc.
Which is why having both is the best of both worlds.
Currently I have 2 years worth of living costs in my ISA and the aim is to that that up to 5 years so that there is plenty of money available should I want (or be forced) to finish working early.
