Keep working.

Are you 65 now or anticipating what life will be like age 65?... If the former the options are to downsize, economise, keep working or apply for top-up benefits. If the latter, it's going to be an exercise in life-planning.

depends on age you are now...

.. and actually loads of other things... what do you define as "insufficient"? Do you own a property? WIll you still have a mortgage? What savings/investments you have etc etc etc

Tough one. You have 2 options really. Live on less and/or earn more. Might be worth getting your arrangements reviewed. Paying a fee is best for this rather than paying huge commissions.
