I get my State Pension this November, and after tax it will be £666 per four weeks, or £8,658 per annum - a 10% on that is £66.60 per four weeks, or £2.38 per day extra…
 
I’m lucky - I’ve contributed to workplace pensions (4 final salary, 4 defined benefit), so I don’t have to survive on the State Pension, but if you think those on State Pensions are living the life of Riley, you’re sadly mistaken.
