Title: retirement age
Post by: raywilb on 12 June 2023, 15:35:50
  i kinda agree with the french that are objecting to a retirement age increase. not all occupations are the same,  some jobs that entail bending hundreds of times a day in all climates for instance those jobs take thier toll on a persons body probably more than a lot of other types of employment that have not got those type of tasks. lower the pension age not increase it is what i say

No chance, I strongly expect it to go up further.

There are to many drawing pension and not enough funds going into the pot, so it can only go one way.

Sadly, if you want to retire at a lesser age you have to save to allow it to happen now  :'(

Nothing wrong with that. Who wants to be 80+, sat by the sunny window with a lump of potato stuck to your chin ?

You're not 'proper old' until you have a beige cardigan with wooden buttons you can dribble into, whilst aimlessly staring out of the window of a care home for the terminally bewildered.
