I don't currently work. I am a full time carer so I get £63 per week carers allowance. I had a pension when I was working in my previous job (over a decade ago) but The pension was attached to the job so no contributions have been made since I stopped working. That pension fund isn't worth very much at all.
I want to start a private pension. DH is working and he pays into a pension but I would like my own. DH wants me to have this too. We won't be able to afford huge contributions. Would it be pointless to start a pension if I can only afford about £70 per month? I am mid thirties. I'm quite worried about coping in retirement should DH die before me and his pension fund is used up.
