Effect of inflation on pension spreadsheet + other questions

One big point that's not maybe well spoken about, because of pension football, there will be plenty of younger type people absolutely filling pension vehicles whilst the pension rules have been made better for filling them up

Depends what you mean by "plenty" of course but I wouldn't think the numbers would be too high in the relative scheme of things. I would think the vast majority of younger people can't afford to put much in their pensions. For those who can I suspect ignorance or mistrust or pensions make other things like buy to let or just a simple cash ISA paying about 5% far more popular.

Stock markets actually perform a useful function besides being seen as a casino by some. The UK's issued debt has to be bought by someone. Consumer spending isn't going to redefine the UK economy.
