I recently changed my insurance job to one that worked from home. I was on average doing around 100 miles a day in a gas guzzling Audi which saves me around $800 per month. Using your calucations and dependant on investment performace (of course!) this would equate to several millons of dollars in my retirement fund. The trick here of course is to actually put your saved cash into the pension, which I am pleased to say I have and given the rock bottom prices of unit values at present my dollars are purchasing even more for my money which equals more bucks in retirement should prices rise nicely in the next 20 years or so! Thanks for the tips, we can all draw something from them. Hi there,

Any time you can combine two positives - saving money and lessening your impact on the environment - it's a good thing. @ retirement – there will definitely be more coming, thanks for the enthusiasm.

I particularly like your idea about saving fuel expenses and using the savings to boost my retirement fund. After living in Holland for five years and then moving to the UK, I was already used to riding a bike, and so stuck with doing that. It can be a little uncomfortable at times when it's raining, but overall, i enjoy the fresh air and save at least 150 GBP per month on fuel, car insurance and road tax. Thanks for the tips and I look forward to seeing more. How many more of these “Green Matters” posts will you be doing?
