sportsbob Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 It seems the French are rioting again, this time over the pension age being increased from 62 to 64 and the proposed law to make it illegal to film the police. https://www.euronews.com/tag/protests-in-france Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, because the French government like ours decided people are living longer so can work longer and so they get more money, so an 18 year old in UK now will pay for 50 years to retire at 68 🤔 Edited March 7, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) It's been all over the news for weeks.

I can understand the need to extend the age but when it comes to SIPP's where the money belongs to the individual extending the draw down age to 57 seems decidedly unfair. Particularly so when people put into it on the basis that they could draw at 55. Edited March 7, 2023 by oowee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
