You and many other similarly...Sophia and Moneyman,<br /><br />You and many other similarly opinioned people really really need to give up this nonsense idea of kids being obligated to take care of parents. This doesnt work on so many levels. (1) Your kids absolutely do not owe you anything for bringing them up. They meet their obligation by paying forward and bringing up their own kids. (2) When the older generation think they took care of their parents so the same should happen to them, they forget that their ageing parents typically died at about 70 when they themselves were 40-50. Now people live until about 90 and it just aint reasonable (or fair) to expect your kids to take care of you for 30 years! (3) Todays 40-50 year olds have to help their own children much more and for much longer because student grants are gone, houses are now unaffordable on basic wages etc. (4) Many old people seem to descend into a kind of resentment/jealousy/self rightousness/selfishness/judgementalism in old age which can make trying to live with them almost impossibly difficult.

The article briefly mentions SIPPs, which is of course one way of planning for retirement. I'd like to draw any DIY investor's attention to SIPP Zone on the Investment Sense website, which I have used to help source my own SIPP. It contains really useful information on charges, allowable investments, SIPP deposit accounts etc. The link is given below:<br /><br />http://www.investmentsense.co.uk/sipp-zone/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
