OH OK Sorry,luckily I have my own income so the state pension is not the be all and end all,I used the subprime analagy for my own reason as it has parralels with my own buisiness I dont mind you thinking Im stupid!
I was able to retire last year as Im not so silly at 45 but carry on!
Its not the money that made me rant its the principle and the overtaxation that the middle income people of this country wont be able to shake off,and yet again the goalpost have moved,I dont see or hear anything from the blue corner to make me think any recent stealth taxes will be abolished just the implimentation of more!
Good luck in your search for work hope you make up your mind soon about when you want to retire!

I didn't say you were stupid, FYI I justsaid you are posting on a discussion which had progressed to a topic which you clearly have little knowledge about.

I'm pleased that you've managed to retire and hope you don't find it as boring as my parents do.

Sadly the pot is empty so there's only 2 ways to deal with it, stop shelling out or put more in - personally I don't have a problem with it as they can't keep funding the state when tax revenue has fallen through the floor.

It isn't a cut that hurts me but there are a number of restrictions in public spending which have. I, like everyone else, will have to grin and bear it through the tough timesalthough saying that I fear we'll be back in the same position in 20 years or so - the public soon forget about living within their means.

Btw, there's been plenty said from the blue corner this week about this topic.



I didnt actually retire I carried on but had planned to stop but need to be busy,my rental income has remained good and my borrowings have got cheaper,by not much being said by the blue corner I meant in respect of a plan for the future relying on profit generated by buisiness and income rather than stealth taxation and the like IMO when the tories get in they wont stop or change any of the "cash grab" policies that have brought (imo only) the country to its knees,with only a longer working life to look forward to FWIW I think there is more pain to come yet.
