His landmark period is like no other in modern presidential politics, leaving businesses and investors in a state of trepidation, says Alex Brummer. Trump may like being the great disrupter but he has left Americans worrying about their pensions and fearing that the liberty prized by the founding fathers is in peril. Trump's ratings have slumped, with 52 per cent of Americans disapproving of his sojourn in the White House.

A Cold War-era former observation bunker on the edge of the royal estate at Sandringham in Norfolk is going up for auction on 8 May with a guide price of £20,000. The Dersingham Royal Observer Corps post was once part of a large network of observation posts up and down the country which were constructed as part of an early warning system to detect impending nuclear attacks and calculate their impact. The Dersingham post is buried in the land on the north-east side of Chalk Pit Road and has been well-preserved.

After some conflict, I realise that I have been behaving rather badly in the office lately. I've come to the conclusion that if I do not get my act together there could be consequences in this job and others. I have been letting my colleagues down, and some senior people who have been trying to help me. I think I've been ruining my chances of promotion - which I care about. I am hoping that there's a way back.

When it's time to stop work and enjoy retirement, you will want to make the most of the money you have saved. That means turning your pension funds into an income that can replace your salary in your younger pension years and into old age.

We explain what you need to know.

In the last year or two, I have cleared over £10,000 of credit card debt I had spiralled into over years of using the cards for non-essentials.

I have a personal pension which I opened in the 1980s with Wesleyan Financial Services. In recent years, I received letters and emails suggesting my pension would be 'lifestyled' into a lower-risk fund five years ahead of my claim date, which was set to be when I turned 65 in March 2020. This did not happen and instead, my money remained in a fund rated moderate-high risk/high reward until March 2020. Had my pension been moved into a lower-risk fund in 2015, as Wesleyan said it would be in its letters, I believe I would not have lost as much money.

My spirits always lift at this time of year when the sun comes out - but this spring I have an extra reason to enjoy the warmer weather.

People in their late 40s and early 50s need to be aware of the change if they want to retire early, or use some of their pension savings to clear debt or meet other expenses. It's especially important to find out the age rules on your work and other personal pensions, because some people will continue to be able to access their funds at 55 depending on what they say. But you could accidentally forfeit this right if you move a pension to a scheme without this benefit. Here's what you need to know...

King, who led the Bank of England from 2003 to 2013, criticised Reeves's 'flawed' fiscal rules, which allow debt to keep rising as a share of GDP for the time being with the aim that it will start coming down after a few years.

I found this handbag at a car boot sale - when I got home and examined it, I found it was poentially a Dior saddle bag. Am I right? And if so, does i mean my £10 bargain buy is actually worth far more than that?

Usually one of the first steps a new investor takes is to self-diagnose their 'risk appetite'. Meanwhile, aging, surprise events and reaching life milestones will change the priorities of experienced investors over time.

So how do you work out your own tolerance to risk, and apply it to become a successful investor - find out here.
