For entrepreneur Theo Paphitis, retirement is all about having the time and money to do what you want to do.

You may wish to start DIY projects or simply enjoy the finer things in life. Retirement is a time to do a little less work, under a little less pressure.

Tommy Walsh has spent years improving homes and doing DIY, but as we're living longer, healthier lives, saving to him is a way of providing for the opportunity to enjoy himself, with time spent in his man cave. 

So what would our celebrity ambassadors recommend?
