Champagne, coke and hookers surely? |
More like a bottle of chateau crap once a month. |  |

Remember private pension and state pension age are different things. You can still retire at 65 and claim your private pension. Or earlier if you are lucky enough. |
And yes I have already done that, but, the change of age was grossly unfair as outlined, we all based our retirement on 65yrs not 67yrs, double whammy, 2 x less years of claiming pension & 2 x more years of paying taxes.
Bear in mind I personally had paid 50yrs of taxable income, never had any hand outs, & suddenly the goal posts moved!
But I guess what the country gives out especially to those who’ve not contributed in any way to the collective pot has to come from somewhere! |  | | |

Mine was delayed by a year but it was much worse for women. |  | | |

£11 whole pounds a week? Outrageous. There’s a danger old folks might spend that, increasing the circulation of money in the economy, supporting wages at their local Dobbies garden centre cafe and recycling 20% of it back in VAT. |  |

Can we please stop making the argument along the lines of "I've paid in so I should be due £x or £y". National insurance has not for decades been, if it ever was, a hypothecated tax reserved for your pension.
Today's taxes pay for today's state pensions and the taxes of 10,20 or 30 years ago paid for the state pensions of those times. |  | | |

not sure how these facts work for state pensions. as of 2023 more people die than people born. at least 92000 in 2022 died just before they receive their state pensions |
That doesn't take into account immigration though. All of those that settle here will age and need a pension, or pension credit. |  |

And most will work and pay their fair share of income tax, national insurance and all will pay value added tax, some will pay inheritance tax as well. |  |
