I'm 28 years old, so not to worried about state pension, I can always top the gap up for that later in life, and at this rate i'm going to have to work til i'm 70-80 anyways!
More concerned about the whole benefits if something bad happens to me in the meantime.
As per other recent threads, there is no way i'd come back and hope to go on the dole, i've always worked, whether it be in a supermarket, packing boxes, you name it. Just worried about coming home injured or sick (higher probability for me because of current health issues) and becoming a major burden on my parents (who wouldn't see me homeless but have only just got rid of me, and have another daughter to go!).
