Quote:you optimistI have reasons to be cynical. I had two very well-funded pensions from my prevous incarnations in finance, local government and IT. One collapsed in the Equitable Life mire and the other is with an American firm that will be long gone before I'm due to collect. Both combined are currently estimated as bringing me an income of around ?1000 pa (no, I didn't miss a zero off). As far as I can see, my future finances have been shafted by politicians of every hue since I started paying pension contributions in the early 80s. I should've shoved it under the chuffing mattress.
And now I want to be an archaeologist... xx(
