@ljrk Quite right too. TBH, I felt like that before I'd even left school. Who actually wants to work to make someone else rich ?
This is actually a pension from one the jobs that I had around 30 years ago. The company it was associated with went under quite soon after I started there so I didn't pay into it for long.
You could choose a retirement age on the application form and I said 60, hence the early "retirement". But I think it's only worth about €200 per year (not per month) so it's not going to change my life much ;-)
