Do any part timers/supply/potential quitters worry about their pension?

[Appuskidu]

Despite teaching for 20 years, I have worked part time for most of them and had time out for babies, so my pension will be proper crap. Especially as I can’t see me going back full time without having a compete breakdown :(

What will do I do at 65 with no pension!!?

NotMyMonkees, are you running a monthly spreadsheet to look at your outgoings now? When I retire, my mortgage will be paid, but I’ll still have quarterly bills for services, council tax and maintenance of property and equipment. Plus the car. Plus food and household goods. And replacement of things that break.
State pension and a pt pension doesn’t stretch as far as you might hope.

Thanks November and karma for the tips. Yes I run a pretty tight budget now and mortgage and childcare seem to eat up most of it but I guess you're right, it's things like being able to replace a car or a new boiler that will really bite when there's no extra income coming in.
