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. |  | | |
