Generation rent

One would hope they’re putting some away. Although I’d not choose a pension!

Very hard for some. Ignoring all the nonsense that every one under the age of 35 has the latest iPhone, the biggest OLED TV etc there’s lots of people in poverty that sadly can’t afford to save anything.

What would you choose out of interest? Most options seem rubbish at the moment.

In what context?
 
Fair enough. I’m London/south east.
London pays well , so for those working there they rent there which is at least 1k for even a bedroom. They can rent further out but then paying the equivalent in travel. So it’s more of a trap down south for many.
Obviously there’s always exceptions to the rule.

It depends on where you want to live. East End or South East is more like £600 for a room in a two bed / three bed share.

A few friends are Airbnb hosts. I stop with a lad in Droylsden from time to time.
 
Then you'd be a dickhead.

No he is right, the number of frauds, scams going on is amazing, then and on poor returns from private pension fund providers, it is a minefield. The Government has shifted the responsibility to the private sector who have little knowledge of a very complex market. Yes clearly you need to save (if you can) but a pension is not a sure fire way.

The tax treatment of pensions does make it a slam dunk to be honest. If you have capacity to save then that is the best return but it is tied up. Anything you do on your own bat outside a pension is after tax paid on your wages and then you paty tax on the returns. I would recomend to anyone that they pay as much in to there pension as they can.
 
London .... all these knife murders yet they’re all loaded paying high rents .... something doesn’t add up

There is a question of where you are willing to live. My first house, bought when i was circa 28, was not in the best area by a long way. I have friends that rented at the same time in decent areas and they are still there now - renting. A lot of it comes down to life choices.
