thetimes.co.uk/article/state… Also inevitable that Irish State Pension age will rise. Plus it's not nearly enough to pay for a dignified lifestyle in retirement - which is why everybody needs to build a retirement savings account to painlessly protect their lifestyle and security

I doubt it gets over the line in ‘24 and although badly needed, pension auto enrollment will take several years to get to the stage where contributions are sufficient to ensure a secure retirement. Financial planning for every individual is essential. irishtimes.com/business/2023…
