Of course, what few company pension schemes are left hold hardly any British shares, so that particular cash cow has gone to the knacker's yard.

I always thought that was a very short sighted move. 💵💵

Retired at 59, not sure about your superannuation system but here your employer has to put in 11% and depending on what union eba, employees top up on top of that I think 3-4%. A flat 15% tax rate on monies going in so a good incentive to up top up personally. After age 60 any outgoings is tax free. At 67 you can get the aged pension.
When I retired I spent 9 months refurbishing both my daughters homes as well as plenty of travel. I had a local school wanting me to help with casual maintenance 3 years ago and word of mouth I’m now doing 3 days at 3 different schools a week. Good thing is I go on holidays whenever I want. Leaving for Scotland, Croatia and England for 6 weeks in 12 hours.
