Retirees will need to shell out a third more than in the previous year to maintain a 'moderate' standard of life

    This doesn’t even make sense to me. Are we assuming these people don’t own their own homes and are still paying rent to reach these figures? 31k to be ‘moderate’ seems absolutely stupid to me if housing is taken care of, and who has 31k a year pension but didn’t pay off their mortgage by retirement? Seems their definition of comfortable must include a lot of expensive holidays.

    The thought of even having a pension worth £14k a year seems so far fetched to me. Guess I’ll just drop my hours from 45 to 39?

      Yup, my pension contribution is about £5k a year and I feel damn lucky to have that!

      Imagine having a final salary pension and than allowing it to be voted away for future generations!
