Re: An item saying that state pension age to go from 66 to 71
Allan, my lads both have private pensions linked to state pension but it's not ideal as you say. We have the lowest paid pension in Europe and the highest retirement age, its going to get worse, its due to climb to 68 in the next few years, governments can't keep pushing the age up as a solution it eventually reaches a ceiling. A lot if the population die before ever receiving their state pension and a lot more within a year or two. The protected savings are never published. With projected life spans dropping and pension age rising I wonder if they are aiming for the two to align. Basically work till you die
