Re: The Plans for the Pension.
I've been pondering over this for a while now. I've had a letter regarding paying top up years for the state pension as I am apparently just shy of the 30 years required for today's pension. (Although I am going to query that as I think this is wrong.) But I am in the unfortunate age group that is marginally too young, so have had my pension age raised to 66 from 60. With the new pension, I will need to contribute for another five years to get the full pension, and I'm not sure if it is worth it. I will have an Irish pension at 66, and a small NHS pension, which I am already receiving and is my holiday fund. I have saved all my life and have a good nest-egg in ISAs and other savings. Healthwise, who knows what will happen, but my father died suddenly of heart disease at 65 and I could do the same.
