Y-Live always makes me feel like a terrible human being when I have to admit I've watched TV more than 3 times in the past week but haven't done any sport 😥 

Even worse on the times I haven't picked up a book in the same timeframe!

I always feel bad for any Antarctic explorers 😁

Yes! Screened out every time, poor sods 🤣!

I had a £3 Y Live today. Have you done any of these 5 sports ever? No? What do you think about Barclays?

I was offered a £2 one, but got screened out for being the wrong type of manager 🙄 Just looked at my history and looks as though I've not been able to complete one since 03/12 - typical, as I have 44/50 points! 

I'm banking (literally) on this election year being a busy one for surveys though, just needs to start ramping up!

The "income needed in retirement" figures released this week were eye-opening, and would suggest I'm on course for a very austere retirement! Can't see how they can be correct for everyone though, my current life feels in no way austere, and my target retirement income is almost £300/month more than I live on now (including all annual bills)! 

So maybe we'll just ignore it 😀😀😀

Their calculations are always so generic that they aren’t very helpful. Everyone lives differently and wants different things in retirement so it’s best to make your own calculations.

Generic online calculators always say I’m way off putting what I need into my pension, but they assume I want to live of 75% of my current salary in retirement. I don’t need nearly that much! They also assume I’ll take an annuity which I am not planning on doing either.
