Groove should think carefully about the period between retirement and entering the care home. It could be 20-30 years.
The happiest time of your life can be after you finish work. You have the time and health to enjoy a life of leisure, so it is important to have a few bob put by.
Gynn can speak with experience as someone who DID save for a pension and retirement, and is now enjoying life to the full.
