Should I bother with Voluntary Contributions ?

[cityworker]

I'm 30 years old and luckily my employers Pension Scheme is Non Contributory Defined Pension ( 2/3 of final salary on retirement)

Recently i have been thinking about paying AVCS APPROX €100 Gross to top up my pension. But with the markets being so volitile would i better putting the extra income somewhere else or is it the case that i have another 30years working that it would make no difference to me,

Any comments advice appreciated

That said, the wisdom of adding to your pension fund should be dependent your overall financial position and any other money/finance objectives that you may have.
