“I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid, so yes, I do want to do something else. There is this strange thing that just because chronologically on a Friday night you have reached a certain age... with all that experience, how can it be that on a Monday morning, you are useless?”Stuart Rose

A radical thought for retirement funds
• Youngsters (20-30) – no retirement fund membership
• Middle aged (30-45) – focus more on risk cover
• Older ages (45-NRA) – maximise retirement savings
