I have been unemployed three times. And hated the fact l could support my famly properly.
I am still working as l cannot afford to retire.
I don't blame OAPs that have saved up all the there lives to live in some form of luxury. While you get pampered kids who don't know what hard work is.
And spend that money they have saved up for. As it is certain that this government wont look after them

Arthur, have you ever paid into a pension fund?
I'm not that much younger than you, but I realised when I was around 30 I had to start putting some money into a pension. I now have around six small pensions, because I changed jobs every couple of years to progress, but when I retire at 66 (6 years time...), I will have more than the basic state pension to live on.
We have to take some personal responsibility...
