Re: The state benefits system mega-thread. Many merged.
I can see both points of view but we are getting his hard from all areas, while they might be able to sustain the current state pension my gripe is that there are a lot of old folks now that retired at 55/60
I have to work a further 10 years beyond that to get state pension. so while these oldies are bleating on about paying in all their lives and living it up at being able to go at 55/60 and thinking of themselves lets look at the younger generation that are having to work 10/15 or even 20 years longer to keep those older ones going.
At the moment like I said it's 70 for me state pension but that's under this current Gov. I've got 33 years left to work to reach 70 we are talking about 5/6 general elections in my working life time and their either wont be a state pension by then or I'll be working till 100 to claim
