My wife has had her pension age go up from 60 to 67. Effectively, they have robbed her good style for GBP 10's of thousands of pounds. Mine has gone from 65 to 66.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

I don't fit into the proposed pension timetable published on the BBC website. It appears to jump from April 2026 to April 2028 to a range April 2044 to April 2046 or 2037 to 2039 in the proposed change. Needles to say I fall down the hole between April 2028 and April 2037/44. So is my state retirement age 67 or 68? Or based on the abovery dates and my actual birthday 67.1111111 years ( 67 years 1 month 1 week and 2.3 days.).Comment

I heard this, and to be honest I was surprised how modest the required increase in age is. Have to admit I'm cynical and think it's probably just that the reality of admitting it needing to be more like 75 within a few decades might cause political issues.Comment

Or by then maybe "citizens' income" or whatever it's called will be a reality.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Some people I know didn't fit into the old timetable from 65 to 66 when the initial info came out. They then found they are in the transition part so have odd retirement ages of 65 and 3 months, 65 and 6 months etc."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I reckon if Scotland becomes independent it will go up a lot, and it's tough if you live in the East end of London as you on average will never get the state pension."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Makes sense. I would go further and cut any state aid for those that have made fortunes from their houses appreciating. They should have to use the equity they have gained to pay for their retirement.
It's only fair, you have been enjoying your gains from the younger generation taking up new debt.Comment

It is people who have not made loads of gains from the rise in house prices who will be retiring later.
Those who are retiring now will find their property will be used for their care when they get dementia in old age."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
