Having paid into the system all my life it now transpires the government don't want to give me my savings back.
My not so good friend Ian Duncan Smith is proposing raising state retirement age to 70 in 9 years time and then 75 shortly after.
This is particularly galling for me as I reach my current retirement age (67) in ten years time.
If these plans go through I'll be lucky to make retirement.
It begs the question, was there any point in being a productive member of society in the first place?
If the Government stopped wasting my money on pointless aid projects and vast benefits for swathes of people who "Just don't want to work" I'd be able to enjoy what I paid for.
I can't be the only person born in 1962 that isn't irate about the situation.
