68 - 34 years time (that's depressing on many levels!) .. not that I expect there to be a state pension at al by that point.

[I_want_an_Omega]

68 according to that site, aiming for company pension as main income for me. Current 16% of gross salary, looking to increase it next year to 20%

Very sensible young man 

You can always ease off later in life as needs dictate - but the value of early conributions can't be underestimated  ............

You will reach your State Pension Age on Thursday 8 May 2031

You will be 66 years old

That is what they think, I am not working a day past my 65th birthday. I have worked and paid tax/NI since the age of 16 and have always done a manual job.

Get these useless freeloading uni students who dont start work until there mid twentys to do the extra years. it is blatantly unfair to expect someone who started work at 16 to work as long someone who started work at 25.

Go back to the old way of paying NI for 49 years and the problem is solved. This will make students get there finger out, and may stop a bit of immigration for financial reasons.

Currently 30 years of NI contrinutions for full state pension ........

68 - 38 years time for me, but I think we'll be lucky if there's still a state left then, or what we call the human race, never mind the SP! The end is nigh!

65 for me. Made it by 6 months.

65 for me made it by one day 

[cleggy]

On my 65th birthday, up until now

If they stop handing out money we have paid in to those who paid nowt things would be fine

  66 for me

[Vamps]

66 for me and I have worked since I was 14 years, 11 months and 2 weeks, left school on the Friday and started work on the Monday.........doubt I will even last till 66......despite health problems as long as I can work I am unlikely to be out of a Job so no early retirement for me............   I know people on benefits, who have never worked on a better net income than me........

Also, don't forget the whole range of cheap, discounted and free things they're 'entitled to', for being on benefits. Free school meals, council tax benefit, prescriptions, the list goes on. Shocking isn't it.

what has this got to do with Omegas?

[albitz]

General discussion area - talk about anything (legal) apart from Omegas.

[albitz]

As Rods2 suggests,unless things change dramatically with the economic outlook the money isnt going to be there to pay future pensioners at current levels or current projected pensionable ages.
Live fast die young might be the way go.
