They want you to not be alive long enough to get enough out of the system you’ve paid into
Get your own shit, your own pension. Don’t rely on your the state. It’s fucked
I’m 33, by the time I get to 71 it’ll probably be 75 anyways, if it even exists
That’s why I’m working hard to pay off a mortgage early. Look after yourself |

"National insurance is your pension pot.
Upping it. Meaning they hope you die before pay out greedy tories. "
Your pension is paid by the next generations who are in work. We need healthy, young folk earning a good living to fund the previous generation’s retirement.
So in this day and age of the gig-economy and falling living standards, it’s looking bleak. |

European countries made so many promises of social welfare - Free healthcare, education and pensions. I guess when these promises were made, they didn't foresee the effects of people not having enough children and also living longer. Now the ratio between number of people contributing to welfare vs number of people consuming from welfare is slowly getting worse and unsustainable.
The only obvious outcome is to make people work for longer. |

Perhaps if people can retrain, they could move to something less demanding as they get older? Something more sustainable for their future lifestyle?
People don't think of getting older when they are younger..... Perhaps they should and plan?
Politicians are lying fuckers. Don't trust them. They milk the system for their own gain. Move abroad if you can & if you have the balls/finance to do it?
Like Lemmy (R.I.P), used to say "the only true thing is rock 'n' roll!!" |

Being self employed l had to do an extra years work in a physical job l had been doing nearly 40 yrs, it was so tough l had to do less hrs , lesser paid work so l lost out financially, too old to retrain.How people can carry on in certain jobs another 5 years can't be real without causing harm. |

Our NI contributions we pay now goes straight to pay the current welfare payments. Unless you have a works pension or private pension you are not saving for yourself. When we get to state pension age our pensions will come out of whatever is paid in by the working tax payers at the time. |

National insurance rose to 13.25%, to help fund health and social care reforms. Fishy Rishi and Hunt the c*^# have now dropped it to 10% in an effort to buy the next election.
They have to make up the shortfall somehow. |
