No you don't, if you put a grand in to an Equity ISA and after 30 years it is worth £12K, you take out £12k and don't pay a penny in capital gains tax. You don't get tax relief on your pay as with a pension but an ISA is a tax free saving!!!

Just don't confuse equity with a cash ISA.

Yes I overlooked ISAs, I do have a cash one which I should do something about.

Trouble is that your outlook changes as you get older and holidays abroad, trips to the pub and getting pissed in the garden during the summer starts to look more appealing as the years go by!

And because you should have a bit more time available in retirement, that is why you have a pension so you can enjoy that stage of your life between working hard and going in to an old folks home!

To hell with the old folks home.. before I become useless I'll  take a relaxed trip around Europe,  finishing up in Switzerland. Donate my body to medical research and be of some use. Never the care home.
