Retirees could be issued guidance on how long
they are likely to live, a government minister has said.
Pensions Minister Steve Webb warned people often underestimate how long
they might live and can be left without enough savings.
Estimates of life expectancy would be based on factors such as gender,
where they live, and whether they smoke.
The information would help them plan their finances more efficiently,
according to the minister.
How has this idea been allowed to see the light of
day? What a morbid weirdo this guy is.
I dread the day when I reach old age, because then I’ll
have to put up with s**t like this.
What is this Mr Webb proposing that everyone of a
certain age sits down and assesses every aspect of their life and fills out
some form to be sent to the government for them to calculate, as precisely as
they can, when you are going to die, or will you simply get a letter saying you will die next Tuesday?
The only reason he’s saying this is so that the government
can make sure they scare people into an early grave and can therefore take a
bigger percentage of the money that’s left behind.
To me it seems there are two choices you can either
let this idiot and the rest of his cronies try to scare you, or you can enjoy
your autumn years and spend the money you’ve saved up on having a good time, simples.
