    Nope i dont think they have any plans to do another ssia, pensions are their worries now. Even if they did they wouldn't offer anywhere near the rate they are now, its much too generous. You can always take out a personal investment plan with one of the investment companies [First active, EBS, etc....] This works the same way as a stock invested ssia without the 25% from the government.

    You have no excuse not to save.

    i wonder what the average age of the SSIA savers is? i started it when i was in college but i only know 1 person my age that did it too. i read in the paper a while ago that the majority are middle-aged.

    I was like yourself I was in second year of college when I started mine. All my friends, most of whom where working fulltime, didn't bother to invest in one. And those who do have them it is only because their parents(mainly mother) either paided it for them or forced them to do it.

    Really not many people have any excuse not to have done one, they where very flexible, you only had to invest as little as €10 a week. for the final year up it to the max and get a guaranteed 25% in one year.
