melthebell Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 As far as I recall the pensions budget is still self funding... for now anyway. Just had a looksee and found this: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/pensions/article-2787888/how-state-pension-funded-cash-runs.html 2014?

retep Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I’ve never stopped working since age 14, turns out you can enjoy education while working! The point I am rather rudely highlighting is that pensions are already under pressure and considered at risk. If the economy crashes than pensioners are going to lose out. like this, http://www.onenewspage.co.uk/n/Front+Page/75ec26m4g/University-pension-fund-deficit-soars-to-%C2%A317-5bn.htm Edited November 20, 2017 by retep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apelike Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 2014? Not really suspect as 2 financial years in't much. The important bit is that it predicts when the pension pot will potentially run out, and that has been forecast to be around 2035-36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 The EU being another? Euhmmm no. It is the member-states in the EU that might be running up a debt, as they are the ones paying into the bigger EU budget, but the EU itself doesn't issue debt. Not really suspect as 2 financial years in't much. The important bit is that it predicts when the pension pot will potentially run out, and that has been forecast to be around 2035-36. You mean when people like me and other currently working/struggling to find an appropriate property/high tax paying folk are about to retire? I'd like to highlight the hypocrisy in your point, I hope you can see it for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hypocritical at all and just pointing out that at the moment it is still self funding and not dependent on loans which you seemed to suggest. But.. those higher tax paying folk normally have enough money to pay into having a decent private pension as well to safeguard that their retirement is well catered for. As in past decades times change and so do government policies which is something I have no control over. I was just born at the right time as with the equality and pension changes it meant that I could basically retire at 62.

And I don't blame you for doing so, what I do blame you for is denying the generation after you doing the same by jeopardising the economy for 'freedom'. Tell me honestly, did you consider what the previous after yours would have to go through? Or was it a case of - 'I think I'll be alright?'

I have not denied the generation after me anything, if they were that bothered then they could have, like me, actually voted and changed the outcome and I would have been fine with that. Such is the measure of the importance this was to them that they didnt. Strangely its not them that are complaining though, its others that seem to want to do that on their behalf to try and make a point. Tell me honestly, did you consider what the previous after yours would have to go through? Or was it a case of - 'I think I'll be alright?' Now remind me, just what will they have to go through?

L00b Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 She lost the EMA to Amsterdam and the EBA to Paris on the same day: some Monday that turned out to be! Lest people forget: David Davis had claimed the UK would hang on to them. Leavers still at nil on the scoreboard, whilst Project Fear is cleaning up.
