Over a 40 year period a well run pension will always show rises well above inflation once it’s properly funded of course

With government bonds sinking further into negative yield territory the bit about proper funding is the sticking point.

My most recent scheme gave me two options: Gamble on stocks or lose money.

When you used to sit around discussing concerts movies and books but now include indepth discussions on pensions with the same people

Many is the weekend over the summer I’ve woke up and thought, great - I’ll get the sheets on! Nice new linens tonight!!

I started to miss waking up hungover after Friday night pints - which I didn’t have as “I’m tired after work”.

God am old!!!

Long gone are the days I would fall out of nightclub after 9-10 pints/shots and still tog out a few hours later for the local soccer team.

In fact many the time I went to the match in the same clothes having either fallen asleep at home or just got back in the time....:o

Now I have a woolly after 2 pints.

Wear a full T shirt under an open neck shirt and call it fashion
That's what I do
The old style vests are a no no

Crikey I wear boxers and a T shirt in bed now after sleeping in my nude for over 35 years

I can remember as 19-20 yr olds 6 or 7 of us went to saints in Howth
Home about 4 ,met up at 9am for a match in Ashbourne
Had to stop the bus a few times for lads to get sick .
Played the match and won
Back to the Donaghmede Inn for a few pints after the game
Good old days

If they don't mind being ridiculed - any age

If they wish to avoid being ridiculed - over 60

Oh yeah the stink of beer on the pitch. I remember carrying an "injury" on to the pitch one morning. Dirty one night stand and I had carpet burns on both knees after a particularly vigrorous yet attentive love making session. Both knees started to bleed on the pitch.

I had to come off at half time that day...back pinting within the hour...:D

When you hear a musician who 'opens up' about retiring from a long and successful career, and you say 'who??' Never heard of her.

Given what has happened to pensions in the last 2-3 decades most 20 year olds would be crazy to sign up to one voluntarily.

The retirement age will be over seventy by the time I get to retirement. Just inject me and sent my remains to the soylent factory when I'm longer economicaly viable.

Given the tax relief available on pension contributions, any higher rate taxpayer who has their overall financial situation under control would be crazy to not sign up to one voluntarily.

For my current pension fund the "low risk" option which is basically gov't bonds had a stated annual yield of -5%. And that was before the Covid-19 government money tree that relies on rock bottom bond interest rates going even lower.

Turning the volume right up on the radio when the obituaries come on and if anyone around you is making noise telling them in no uncertain terms to shhhsh. Come to think of it listening to the radio these times is in itself probably a sign that your getting old.

Same on a pillow.
