I know what the state pension was meant to be originally but this failed. I do find it amusing that a guy on a high end wage wants his state pension irrelevant of where it comes from
Irrelevant of where it came from?

There was me thinking part of it came from me working solidly for 49 years, happily contributing through tax (at least 40% for the last 20 and the next 8 years) and NI....

Don't forget, I will be taxed on my pensions, including the state pension, so the country will be getting it back - or should I just not bother paying into my pension, and spend all the money now....

ymmv....
