AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 'You may be aware that the law has changed. State Pension age is increasing and will be 66 from October 2020. This affects men and women born on or after 6th October 1954' 'Your new State pension age will now fall on your 66th birthday' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Ah.......have just spoken to a friend who is a year older than me........born June 1953 - she will get her pension at 65.........so right - it is as Louby Loo said 'a graduated system' (that's why Andy Pandy only has to work an extra 4 months! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19782 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 We can have activities such as decorate a zimmer frame day! - Letters and Sounds (whose knees are cracking - or was that someone's hip joint!) or how many children will it take to get your key person up off off the floor?

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Well, when I married old (young) Andy - I chose him so that we could retire the same time.......... so he has a few years on me.............. Well now I've got to go till I'm 99 (ok slight exaggeration), and, as luck would have it - out of all of our friends I am the only one that falls above the 'magic year' of 54. I have been told that when I'm getting up and making sandwiches for work - I can make the picnic lunches for their days out!!!!! :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 we too expected to retire at the same time when we married too.. and I have known for a long time it changed to 65, now jsut added another year to it... but as I am not working...... what it did highlight was the changes in providing pensions and having compulsory workplace pensions .. think it was a radio article that made me look it up.. but found the following sites... maybe time to think about where the money for employers is going to come from when it is already hard to just stay afloat.. This is money employers guide to pensions Interactive tools for employers The pension regulator had breakdowns of when everyone has to have this up and running... last phase in for the smallest employers of under 30 is 1 January 2016 1 April 2017 taken from the staging timeline...

AnonyMouse_3735 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 on the same topic.. our son now 27 always said that it was not worth doing a pension as by the time he was due to retire it would be at least 75 or 80 and not worth contributing to.. where would he benefit from all those years paying into it.. he emigrated! but did make us think about it...

AnonyMouse_26037 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If it's any consolation I always think of you as being older than me but only a couple of years - so read your ages thinking 'I'd thought they were younger' Then I remembered that I'm 38! and you are only a couple of years older than me! I have a lesson observation on maths first thing tomorrow morning - it's not looking good is it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
