Jane Austen quoted in article on retirement planning
A quotation from Sense and Sensibility was included in an article on retirement planning (including annuities) in the Scotsman.
JANE Austen cannot have foreseen how many of us would be living well into our nineties when she wrote in Sense and Sensibility that “an annuity is a very serious business; it comes over and over each year and there is no getting rid of it”.
Considering that several members of Jane Austen’s family lived into their nineties, we dare say she did indeed foresee it.
