I'm too poor to save for retirement. Everything I make gets used immediately.

From time to time when I am forced to pay into the government pension scheme. I am actually semi optimistic that they will pay out a small sum, so with other left-over money I rather make sure my living expenses are low so that even a small monthly payout will be sufficient (or that I can make do without).

I would not recommend to save up actual cash or invest in some privately operated pension scheme.

Yes. I’m saving for my wife’s and I retirement. I also want to make sure that our kids don’t have to support us when we are old.
