Off Topic The Burly Arms

Yeah a good chunk of our generation will never retire. I know I certainly won't.

 

I think a lot of the older generation once thought how the younger generation think now. Although one real difference is that the automatic default now is for a private pension, but ppl such as Sucky would still need to be making contributions to one. But generally I'd say you are right, the government are just hoping everyone pops their clogs before reaching it.

 

I don't have a pension either mate so I've no chance, and also won't own any property I can sell. I've just got a savings pot which will go to my lad.

Plus like you say the age will probably be 70+ by then and there's a decent chance I won't live that long anyway so I'm not too worried about it.

 

I use to think like you, it's the natural thing to do when you are young, but at least you would have been paying stamp towards some sort of pension (state).

 

Btw for anyone that don't know, you can check all your state contributions online.

 

Not really got much of a pension here apart from state here.

I don't have kids yet so anything i earn can be spent on myself or my wife.

Planning on having a few properties and being a nice social landlord but tbh i don't really spend much money so i think i should be okay to get by

 

Claim Pension credit which is far more generous than the SRP .

 

At some point in the not too distant future we're not going to have enough working people to support those on a state pension.

Cull people at 80 I say

 

When I checked online I'm entitled to the full state pension when I retire, as my contributions were paid up long ago - so what's the difference between that and what you are suggesting, as I don't know?

 

The Conservative government have tried that since 2019, it was successful in part.

 

Pensions Credit is a means tested benefit though has very generous amounts of savings allowed* . Basically think of it as Income Support for the crumblies .

* Not sure if this is still the case but when it was first introduced you got a bit extra for having a certain amount of savings which was an interesting idea .

 

morning Aber .

 

You can’t go into a club over the age of about 25 I find. Unless it’s one of those **** old people clubs that you went into by mistake when you were under 25 and got hounded by fat cougars the whole night

Might treat myself to a pint on the way home.
