Fortunately, even though I retired early (or, as I put it, jumped before I was pushed), I have a semi-decent private pension. The state pension pays for the little luxuries and feeding my funeral fund. And my savings account - well my family will need something to fight over when I'm gone.Opti wrote: ↑Thu Aug 19, 2021 2:38 pmBut it's only temporary*, apparently.
It's only a small number of their voters that they'll piss off. Most of their pensioner wing have decent private pensions these days.
I rely mainly on my state pension for essential outgoings - any frippery/whim/appliance disaster comes from savings. But then I've never voted Tory.
We live a happy life, but pretty frugal by the standards of many.
* of course it is ... of course.
My pension is capped; doing the same with the state pension would be OK by me, but I don't rely on it, so my opinion is ever so slightly worthless.
