State Pension at 68
Six million men and women will have to wait a year longer than they expected to get their state pension, the government has announced.
The rise in the pension age to 68 will now be phased in between 2037 and 2039, rather than from 2044 as was originally proposed.
Those affected are currently between the ages of 39 and 47.

When I get back into work I don't think I'll make it that long either.

Don't save too much or dare to own a property or they'll take that from you too.

I reckon you'll be setting up offshore accounts and property trusts to 'hide' your huge wealth and deprive the nation of your taxes.
