It is too late to start a pension when you are already work for 30 years in an organisation you can not longer start up a pension again because you only have 5 years to work.I think your uncle is not yet too late. He is only turning 67. What if he could live up to 100 years then the 33 years of savings I believe could really be a great help when the the comes. I think that age does not matter. Its a matter of determination and choice. Tell him to start and save.
