I'm very concerned about the fact that the state may have a shortfall of cash by the time I'm due to retire. I am currently on career break and have one year left. I am working in the Middle East which means that the job I have is not secure. However, the weather is good and the money is good for now. I keep being told that I should not give up my job at home because I will get a good pension and at least the job is secure. Originally I would have agreed with this and to be truthful it is the only thing that would bring me back to the country. However, according to the post the government is unlikely to have the money to pay me by the time I will retire. There is no reason for me to live in Ireland other than the job. I thought that at least if I had a goal at the end I could keep going but if that goal is a false one I'm not sure I should go home. I could really do with some advice from someone who is neutral.
