Every time I talk about the age pension, someone pipes up on social media and tells me that it won’t be there by the time they retire. Clearly they aren’t reading the same papers I am. Usually this is someone in their 40s or 50s who’s spent most of their working life being told that our population is ageing and there won’t be enough taxpayers to fund everyone as we get older. The fear they quote r

Have you ever been at a weekend barbecue listening to Robert in the corner tell you about how he really could retire now, at 54, and head off caravanning around the country. You nod politely, quietly shudder, look inward and wonder what you’re doing wrong. Until five minutes ago, you thought you were doing reasonably well.
