That willing suspension of disbelief for the moment which constitutes poetic faith.

My dad loves what I do and I support my parents financially because they didn't have a job that gave them a pension.

Imagine if the pension funds and endowments that own much of the equity in our financial services companies demanded that those companies revisit the way mortgages were marketed to those without adequate skills to understand the products they were being sold. Management would have to change the way things were done.

The people who did the collateralized mortgage obligations sold them to pension funds then sold them short then bought credit default swap insurance on them are just amazing. They are a law unto themselves.

Work is transformative. It gives you a greater chance of a greater income. You can affect your life while you're of working age so you have scope and opportunity. Pensioners do not.

My view is pensioners don't have the one option that people of working age have. They can't really increase their income because they are no longer able to work.
