Just scrolling through my social media.

Seen a post about pension entitlements for women born in the 60s... It's up for judicial review early June. The current government are highly unlikely to make improvements to the situation. It makes me think how out of touch with the people the current government actually are.

I have no company pension scheme. Not paid enough earnings into the system due to having children to bring up single handedly & Ill-health. I'm facing the strong prospect of serious poverty in old age.

It makes it difficult to want to stay alive. Fear of the future makes a huge impact on my state of mind. Sometimes I just don't want to be here.
