Are they having a laugh? The next generations, who won’t have even a tin-plated pension, will at 50, have not retirement, but another 20 years or more of working life to plan!

Problem is, those without advisers are unlikely to have anything other than a few small workplace pensions to use, sensibly or otherwise. So. Not a great deal to look forward to. See you all in the free coffee queue at Waitrose.
