To ask how much your retirement pot will be

[Futurama1]

Off the back of some threads today, how much are you aiming to have in a retirement pot?

I’m going for 600k at today’s value which seems an insane amount but 20k per year for 30 years + state pension. What are you aiming for?

I put 2k per month in currently (inc employer contribution)

Zero the way I'm going, I'm hoping one of the kids chucks me a few quid each week.

2k isn't realistic for many people....

Considerably less than that.

I don't even earn 2K/month!

Fuck me, you pay IN 2k each month? So basically you earn shit loads and thought you would start a thread about it?

If I can get to £200k I’d be very fortunate

OP, many people don’t even clear £2k a month, so that is unreasonable for them to put that amount into a pension fund. I’m thinking it’s unlikely you are an average earner?

Subtle brag thread is not subtle.

OP, it is quite an interesting question but you're clearly a high earner and this does make the thread read as "I'm rich, what about you?"

Lots of people on here are on the breadline. Just piss off with your "look how much money I have" bullshit

If I was putting in £2000 a month I would be expecting to retire at 50!

Here, have another

I'm putting in 5k a month currently and I have won the euromillions 3 times so I think I'll do ok

Bloody hell what a bragging post! I’m fortunate enough to earn a good wage but I’m the sole breadwinner and have, you know, a mortgage and bills to pay, so I put in 5% and my employer does too. Will be nowhere near your 600k which would put you amongst the very biggest pension pots in the country.

I put in 20k a week, doesn't everyone?!

Good grief, £2k a month? I don't think you have anything to worry about if I get to £300k in the next 30 years before retirement, I'll be a happy bunny.

Something tells me you will be ok 😒

Okay wow! I didn’t intend for people to take offence, probs shouldn’t have mentioned individual contributions.

I don’t earn a wild salary BTW, just have prioritised this and employer pays a lot

£20 a month, on top of employer contributions.. I'm expecting to be skint..and OP ..2k a month?? Look up minimum wage..thats most peoples ordinary wages...

My first thought was "fuck all". I have not made wise life choices

Many of us don't earn 2K a month.
I'm in a minimum wage job. To answer your pension pot question, nothing. I don't have a pension pot. I shall be living on the state pension when I retire, which is only a few years away.....

Nothing, because I'm an unpaid carer to my two dc. I get carers allowance for one of them, and I can't save for a pension on that sadly.

My DH has one of those gold plated police pensions people claim exist. He pays in 15% and won't make anywhere near what you will op. Not even half. Not even a third.

You can't prioritise if you simply don't have the money.

Bit boastful…..
