    Could be worse. Could stick it away for 40 years then get hit by a bus.

    I had a works private pension which I thought was a good idea but it came back to bite me in the * when I retired. Coupled together with my state pension as well as my savings it took me over any thresholds for claiming anything whatsoever. I also had my carers allowance stopped as I was now getting state pension even though my wife's health has deteriorated and my caring duties have increased. I had to fork out on adaptations in the house and my electric bills have doubled as my wife needs the heating on constantly. So, I'd advise people to try sit down with an IFA and discuss matters as I wish I had when I was younger

    Private healthcare can be useful if you get hit by a bus :50:
