Save. I'm a saver. Life is full of rainy days.

Care homes are expensive, and are you likely to need one in the future?

Nobody can advise you how much to save, as our lives are so different. Can you make life easier by ordering taxis, because, used regularly, they aren't cheap?

I don’t think anyone can tell you that, really. Much depends on circumstances- whether you are single or married, have children or not (and whether they are financially secure or not), whether you are comfortable on your income, whether your house is as you want it and ‘future-proofed’ and so on.

Just curious to know how much money people put by in their retirement. I don’t mean monthly pension payments, just savings for a rainy day.
I simply don’t know how much to put away long term. I am in the fortunate position of having inherited some money , but do I spend or save. I do have a small amount of savings anyway, but wonder the best course of action.
