"People need to save more for retirement"
Ok. Going to pay us more?
No
Going to reduce utility bills to allow us to save more?
No
Going to reduce house prices to allow us to save more?
No
Going to bring the state pension up to EU norms so we're not at the mercy or predatory private pensions or inflating house prices?
No
A UBI so we can live decently regardless of our circumstances?
Nope.
So what should we do?
You need to save more.
