Ballio - you can guarantee that, as the percentage of people living longer is increasing, consecutive governments will be looking at novel ways to tax the blue rinse brigade and part them of their hard earned savings. IMO Pensions have always been a bit of a scam - what you save in tax to start with ends up being charged at the end - and it has been your risk in the meantime! My investments are mainly in ISAs with a few non-contributory company pension schemes lying around. Alternatively, go work for a bank or pension company - I know people who've retired at 50 by doing this!
