100k pension pot at 42

I've finally checked my pension pot and age 42 it's currently 100k. Putting into random calculators, it seems ok at current money but with inflation in 25 years time, it seems tiny. And yes I should have been keeping up with this more, but I didnt start working until I was 30 (postgrad degrees and two pregnancies) so have only had 12 years of working and saving and with two kids and a house - pensions just didnt seem all that relevant until now. How much does everyone else have around this age?

@Unbridezilla spot on. So many are in denial. I have friends who simply don’t care. They just live for today. Everyone needs to save for the future and stop spunking their hard earned cash on crap. Putting your head on the sand won’t pay your bills when you’re 70+
