I don't have a pension but my wife has a final salary. I've have money invested which I'm confidant will continue to provide a good steady income into my retirement.
We both hope to be in a position to retire by 55-60 if we wish. I'm not sure I will though.
I was under the impression that pensions will become compulsory in the near future and employers must contribute??

Your impression is correct.
A suprising number do, I blame TV and bad parenting. We hire a lot of 16-17yro fresh out of school for seasonal work and year on year its getting more and more common.
Perhaps, but you'd be pretty stupid to use that as a reason to not pay into a private pension...
True. My past experiences with previous company pensions has been pretty sour so I have my own savings setup - doesn't really work out as well on paper as a company pension but so far its doing better than the ones I've paid into in the past :S

I'm not keen on the idea of having money locked away until i reach my 60's. I think what's the point in saving thousands for then when the money is more useful now.
Also, we've had a couple of cases at work of old boys retiring then dying shortly after. What a total waste of saving! They could have made better use of that cash when they were alive.
