So I have ruined my children's future?

Never claimed anything but child benefit (and only so I got the Carers contribution to NI),never went on the dole even when I was entitled.Opted to pay full NI contributions when many of my married peers were paying reduced married women's NI contributions.

Saved for my children's presumed forays into FE,struggled when my husband was made redundant 3 times..

I suppose the naval pension my husband receives might possibly have contributed but he did spend 24 years in service so it could said he earned it.It's only enough to cover our basic outgoings and has helped us to survive those three redundancies with very little help from the state..we still had to eat however.

In the last 40 years I've had 4 holidays abroad.Not exactly gone overboard compared to some.

Trying to see how I peeded away my children's futures.
