Ah! Retirement! A life of leisure! It's also a life on a fixed income. I'm sure those who 'enjoy' retirement (planned or unplanned, voluntarily or forced) know this all too well.
Oh yes, one may be lucky enough to have an 'inflation-proofed' occupational pension. But all that means is that the buying-power of the pension stays the same. The annual percentage uplift is not making one richer.
