I should have around £250k by the time I'm 70 which is not a bad little nest egg then I'll just go to 2 days a week window cleaning for 10 months a year if I'm alive and healthy!

Of course there's no guarantees but I'd hate to get into my mid 70s and be skint!


I’d hate to be cleaning windows in my mid 70’s. What a dreadful thought!

Why?I know 2 window cleaners who are still cleaning and they are in their late 70s(both on ladders too)....they look fantastic for their age and no plans to retire just yet...

Some people get old before their time...not me.... 8)

It could be a lot more than that Daz if only you invested it somewhere that will be beating inflation over the long term.
Truoble is if you have cash in the bank you are actually losing money when you take inflation into account. This has been the case for years and likely will continue for years to come.

Interest rates will rise mate there not gonna stay this low forever and compound interest can make a massive difference to savings over a long period of time....

If the worst comes to the worst Daz just get a chair and a rope m8,the way things have been going this last few years with the world tbh thinking what you’re gonna do in 20-25 years ain’t really worth worrying about, there’s no pockets on a shroud St Peter let’s all in if they’ve been good not just the rich ones.

The thing is nigel if you can comfortably put away money every month and still go on nice holidays every year and have all the material things you want then you d be foolish not to plan for the future.....

Lots of people are living longer and more fuller lives than ever before....not all of us will be knackered by the time we reach 70!

No I agree Daz but when they sell these pension plans they don’t ever intend to have to pay them all out in full,you know the reason why a lot of people don’t live long enough.
Some bookies work at the track some work in the office and the bookie rarely gets it wrong.

And also it depends what you call a good holiday or break,a few nights in London or Alton towers in a treehouse for 3 bags. You try finding a good 1 in the Maldives just been looking unless you spend 14 k you might as well have a week in Camber.

It’ll be a very long time yet before interest rates are higher than the rate of inflation Daz, until then you’re money in the bank is worth less and less each and every year.

It’s exactly the same concept that happens when you don’t put your customers price up. It’s now worth less.

Just like that fuel panic buying a few months ago they print and talk about it we like sheep rush out to fill up our cars and vans,just so they can check to see whether we are still towing the line you need a pension you’ll live till you’re 90 don’t believe everything you read and hear either way they’ll get it back inheritance tax care home fees etc,you need to be very wealthy or P**s poor in the UK if you’re in the middle you pay for everyone else.
