For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.With respect Ed, my work experience tells me that most people are doing absolutely nothing to prepare for their retirement. Everybody expects the present system of State Pensions to remain for the foreseeable future. It will become more expensive to maintain this system and recent Governments, of both colours, have recognised that by raising NICs and the age at which people can access their OAP, and there is no evidence that this support will stop at any time in the near or medium future.
But people need to supplement the OAP, as it will not meet the much higher expectations of the present younger generation. Alas, there is little sign that enough people are saving anything like enough to make a useful difference.

Depending how old you are, "near and medium future" are very subjective :)
Maybe it's just the ones I've met, spoken to and worked with.
///"Reading through your 08.58 post, highlights the need for something that separates other ABer's contributions from those of your own, ie italics or the way I have chosen"
We do need something better, and italics doesn't always work.
Thanks for bringing up how stupid a Milliband can look when they put their minds to it. Yet again though, Ed still resides in David's shadow even in the event of looking silly:
