"UK workers, aged 30, should pay £824 monthly into pensions’"

Chin Stroker

That seems like a crazy amount of money to be paid monthly

Have you a pension or would you rather invest elsewhere?

Jesus.

That's a hell of a lot of money from a UK salary. I only assume the employer must pay the majority of it?

****ing stupid idiots, invest your money in safety where there's guaranteed no risk, such as bank shares or property.

Thankfully because of the high rates of cancer in my family i am unlikely to ever need a pension.

Well its the FT. If you put more money into your pension. The boys in the city will be making a lot more.

But seriously the Irish pension system is a joke. Everyone gets the same pension regardless of how much PRSI you have paid as long as you make x number of contributions. It was more fair when they had the PRSI ceiling of €75,000. But someone who pays a ****load in PRSI still gets the same pension as someone who paid **** all PRSI

I like many can't afford one, so no point worrying about it.

Yea exactly, just enjoy yourself now and when you're old you can just sponge off the rest of us

I had one in previous jobs that are still out there somewhere, but seeing as...

- I can't afford it now (now that I am entitled to start one again)
- Pensions have been massively devalued/emptied/raided by our government

... it's no longer something I worry too much about

I'm hoping for some kind of 'Logan's Run' scenario

**** I'm thirty one so should be putting loads in!

Actually between mine and my employers contribution I put in between £600 and £650 a month so not too bad.

Can you afford not to have one? Your pensioner self isn't going to thank you for your short-termism.
