But remember that in the UK you now only need 30 years' of contributions to get a full state pension and that activities like being a SAHM in receipt of child benefit gets a 'stamp' for that year - don't accidentally overpay!

It might be helpful to know that you will not overpay. I have paid voluntary contributions for a while and got a letter to say that the rules have changed and I have overpaid and can expect a refund - which I got last month.
It seems that everyones contributions are being checked. You can ask for a pension forecast - I believe that you can do it online now.
