This is a question Getting Old

Drimble asks: When was it last brought home to you just how old you're getting? We last asked this in 2004, and you're eight years older now. Eight. Years.

I'm pushing thirty
And I haven't even started to think about a pension yet. I'm wondering if I should be worried by this. I am glad to say however I don't make the "hnnnff" when I sit down. I haven't learned to drive yet. I only started going to large music festivals last year. I have to wonder if I might be a little immature.

The
'Hnnnnf' noise kicks in in mid thirties (usually) You have all that to look forward to. Oh and pension, probably won't be worth the paper it's written on by the time you want to cash it in.

I had a company
pension for about 6 years in the 90s, so I kind of got started by default.

When I left that company, the 'pot' was about 30 grand.

I stopped paying into any pension, now I'm 45 and still haven;t done anything.

However . . . I checked the value of the 30 grand pot last year, some 15 years after I stopped paying into it, and it's worth about 32 grand.

Fucking pointless. The dicks that run the funds have probably made 10 x as much as I have. I'm simply relying on the value of my house, and will probably buy another one in the next 5 years, hoping by the time I'm 60 something they'll be enough to support me.
