    What you mean is that you want to put aside some money for your retirement into an investment.

    Before we go off giving explanations, do you want best option or easiest (easiest will not be best and as this is an investment, that means less money at the end)?

    Agree with dunstonh here.....if you really do know so little then the last thing you should be doing at this minute is stuffing it into a pension scheme.

    Pension schemes are a suitable vehicle for many.....but not all. Very much depends on your income, employment, aspirations, taxation.....etc etc etc.

    You really ought do a fair bit of reading and research before embarking on something. Forums can be a great starting point, but be careful, free advice is usualy free for a reason.
