Anecdote
It's my birthday today. I'm 65. This sounds old, because it is.
65 used to be the retirement age for men in the UK. When I worked for private companies, they would enrol me in the company pension scheme under the not-unreasonable assumption that 65 would still be the retirement age when I reached 65. As a result, I have three of them that have been bugging me for months asking me what I want to do with my pension money when I reach 65. I've been ignoring them, on the grounds that I don't know what I want to do with my money yet. They'll therefore automatically keep hold of it and make investments with it until I actually do retire and tell them I want it now. This means that a stock exchange crash and rampant inflation are almost guaranteed before then.
Oh well, back to work.
