in memoriam - 1965-2024
Well for some
I’ll have 38 yrs years in and roughly 2 years salary in AVC’s
I’ll take the max one and a half times tax free and put the rest into an ARF
Hoping for a redundancy package of 3x yearly earnings as well so if it all falls into place I’ll be set up.
The amount of lads that don’t bother with pensions and AVC till their 30/40 s is staggering
I had no where near 38 years, but was in sales, so knew the salary at 60 would be no where near the level in my late 30s, so when they closed the DB scheme, I kept an eye on the CETV, and 2 years ago it pretty much tripled. (Gilts and that). Was an utter no brainer. Single, well not married, kids grown up, sat in cash till I sack the mortgage off in 2 years, then will trust my own judgement.
Seen way too many raids and changes to trust MPs not to screw me over.
Sooooo, thats why I have a clue about commercial property et al. Flogged it for years.
