I appreciate that some people couldn't afford private or works pensions, but not a huge number of people!Re: Pensioner Poverty
Re: Pensioner Poverty
Not everyone had jobs paid enough to save for pensions it doesn't matter how many jobs were available they just didn't earn enough. I feel like I saved the country hundreds of thousands over the years looking after people in my family who could have gone into care situations paid for by the state. But that meant I couldn't earn enough to live on too and certainly not enough to save. My husband has always had manual jobs none paid enough to save really, we couldn't have worked harder or longer so why should we have a poverty pension just because life didn't send us into employment that gave us enough to live and save ?Thread Tools | |
