He has a point lads...ffs i'm 40 now and by the time i'm the retiring age it'll be 70 before i'll get the pension and sure i'll probably draw my first pension and die the following week...fit for the skip...its alright for these feckers in Government they'll not be worrying about it with their pensions...feckers will retire when they're 55 on about £100,000 a year

I'll bet you already like an afternoon nap..
Your not even half way through your working life!

[illdecide]

Believe it or not Lawnseed but at lunchtime today i had this conversation about people who take a nap in the afternoons or evenings and i said i'm working now full time for 24 years and i can't ever remember taking a nap in the evening after work...ever. I could sit to 1:00 - 2:00am no bother any night and never nod off but trying to get up for the work the next morning is tough but the cycle happens almost every night...

What about not depending on the government for an income when you retire? What about making sound investments and choices and sacrifices now (at 40 you said you were) for the next X amount of years so that you only use your Government provided pension as a wee bonus, extra money? And your real pension is one you provide?
Loads of people have bought and rented out extra houses and will be sitting high and dry come retirement time (they hope) collecting rent on paid for houses.... It's a risk worth taking.
What about starting a side business? Making and selling something? This Christmas me and my brother in law are making and selling 4ft garden nativity sets - pays for Christmas for both families.
If you take a look at your money coming in - you always get by on what you have, so if you were earning 10% less you would still get by? So take 10% out of your paycheck every time, direct debit it out immediately into a lifecycle index fund and let it build up for the next 20 years....

Small changes and sacrifices now will go a long way by the time you're 65 or 68. Don't count or hope on winning the lotto...

Already using that "10%" for food.. Suppose I could put it in the freezer for the future..
Failing that theres always time travel I could go back a change the pension schemes that I started that went tits up and invest in different things..
Remind me why im paying tax now..

Is Dickey Osbourne or Clegg?

[lawnseed]

Emm.. Will raising the retirement age lead to more youth unemployment and greater inefficency? Oldies who should be getting on coach tours wearing cream coloured trousers and red jackets will be holding jobs that young people need..
