I wasn't being judgemental to anyone, simply stating that if you were working you'd be foolish to think you can rely upon a state pension to support you in retirement.
I accept everyones finances are a matter for them, but I can guarantee that there are people on modest incomes that could if they wanted to afford to save, or put in a pension but they choose not to do so, not give up their luxuries now.
But they will expect the state to support them in later life.
I'm not saying everyone, of course there'll be exceptions, but there are people who can afford to save for their future that aren't.
