Re: Child Benefit Scrapped For Higher Rate Tax Payers From 2013

[QUOTE=punky;35103513]I don't expect there to be any money in the pot when I retire. It would be nice if there was, but i'm pragmatic. Which is why i've always looked at other options than to rely on the state because in my experience, the state is the last person you want to rely on. And given my family history and body shape, i'd be amazed if I see 65.

I can see the state pension being next on the hit list

That's a bit of a generalisation isn't it .Quite a few children from "poorer" backgrounds use that a very fact as an incentive to not rely on the state and do something constructive with their lives
