To not be bothered about my pension?

[mytartanscarf]

I paid in for ten years and now I'm taking some "time out" to "find myself." I know that is an extremely poncey statement!

I think my mum and dads influence is leaning very heavily on me because they were very concerned with pensions and used to regularly tell me to pay extras in so I could retire early.

So - aibu for not being bothered just at the moment (am 32?)

You tend to automatically rejoin the teachers pension scheme with teaching posts: it's no different to (say) taking a few years out to have children.
