I'm getting close to stage pension age Notso

As I've said before when I was 22 and starting oot as an "insurance man"....Mair like boy......I saw a lot of pensioner poverty and the average pensioner I dealt with wasn't flush by any means.

From about 2000 on it began to change, disability, folk retiring from public sector and a bit of downsizing those 8k houses bought with massive discounts now going for 90 to 100k.

Not all pensioners are loaded but very few in the poor house now......

Triple lock for me has to go.....I'd keep it for those on old style state pension who don't get full whack......if it dosent state pension for everybody will go within 20 years.

On football side of things I'd have a loyalty system, 10 years season tics, small discount when pensioner, 20 bigger discount but not as low as pensioners get in now.

Everything should be geared towards young adults, young adults become family adults, become auld adults become pensioners.
