    I'm no expert, but just the power of compound interest and sensible investment should make sure that EVERYONE can take out more than they put in, over a working lifetime. Don't forget that some benefits are taxed too.
    Very few people, as a proportion of the population, need end of life care that is fully funded by the state. So yes, whilst end of life care can be costly, if you have money then most of that cost is paid privately.

    Why pay for what you can read for a few annoying adverts?

    Lots of other blinding flashes of the obvious in there too. For example: Shop at cheaper shops.
