We live in interesting times, but they’re only going to get more interesting. There are huge social issues that are going to need tackling in the coming decades, not least of which is pensions. I’m absolutely intrigued by this stuff and the ignorance surrounding it, even though I don’t yet have a pension of my own (I’m going with an ISA for the time being). If all of the predictions are correct, one hell of a lot of people are going to be seriously screwed when they get old. How is the world (for it’s not just the UK) going to cope? Raise the retirement age? Massively boost taxes? Involuntary euthanasia? Your guess is as good as mine, but it’s going to be fascinating to watch.
Fascinating like a car crash, that is. :/
