To FORCE people to work this late and be lifetime workers is plainfully wrong.
What firms going to do with those they cant retire on grounds agesm basically no longer capable doing the work and forced to keep them in meanual jobs.
Its like the government want the companies to be the pension of the government.

People could always sacrifice a little and save for their own retirement rather than assuming the government will pay.
Odd concept for many I know.

I feel strongly that people who have work hard all there lives, should retire if they feel it.
I was born in 1951 and have worked in all sorts of places, done some really hard jobs and l have another 5 years to go till my official retirement age of 65.
So when l reach that golden age, l certainly will seriously consider it, especially if the wife wants to also, l have three great kids and three lovelly granchildren to look after.
What does anyone think.  |
I'm aiming to retire at 55, 60 at the latest and am contributing to pension funds accordingly to make it a reality. In addition I have other savings and will continue to accumulate them.
I'm cutting back on expenditure to permit saving to buy a home and then pay that mortgage off in 20 years, and to ensure a reasonable quality of life, I'm assuming that the government will give me nothing.
