Still quite a few people on here want more Socialism, so they have to be resigned to the fact that their Pensions will be used to pay for it.
The Netherlands are introducing a tax on unrealised gain in 2028, utter madness.
You will own nothing and be happy.
Yes the dates for taking your pension keep getting extended. However the tax incentives for saving into a pension are excellent, as such I still think people should invest in one whilst such tax breaks exist. Having a mix of Isas, pensions, other is a sensible option for most people.
I saw that about Holland and the new unrealised gains tax, interesting times we live in. Make your own plan and stay flexible is my advice.
