If you invested an extra £50 a week for 50 years you could have an income of £10,000 (adjust figures for inflation) a year to add to it. The earlier you start the more it will be. If you don't then the nightmares and cold sweats start in your 40s. You have been warned!
Not a fucking chance.
My parents got burned with pensions. I'll never have anything other than a state one. While I accept they work for some people, I prefer to plan for my future in other ways.0 -
i used to think my pension was the safest thing in the world and while everything i have accrued so far is safe, the future for it is a bit uncertain in all but one aspect: im definately going to be getting less from very soon onwards.
mind you, atleast my pension starts from when im 40 at the moment but we'll see if that remains the same soon enough when the review is completed.
i cant complain too hard, i havent had to pay for my pension so far0 -
Thing is though, you'll be retired before 70, so you'll need the money to fill that gap between retirement and death.psymon wrote:both my grand fathers, from who i got the hair line, both dropped dead with heart attacks before they reached 70.
so i pretty sure a pension for me is pointless, spend it now and enjoy it.0 -

Oh, and not forgetting Soliders, Policemen, pilots and so on?
Maybe, just maybe, that it's the idiots who forgot to put anything aside that can't retire before 70.0 -
