My state pension isn't due till I reach 66 years of age, I should imagine yours will be a little higher

I'm looking at 68 jim but the way things are going in our country who can tell.

Yea your kids will have it worst, I think those of us in our mid 40's will get hit but not as hard as those in lower age groups.

Not sure what age as yet I can get my state pension (that's if you who doesn't increase the retirement age to 100) I know that I can get my pit pension at 50 though it will be slightly reduced.

Unfortunately mates, I think by the time Jim, and my kids would normally be thinking of retirement. The whole bloody idea will be scraped. Is this what the gov means by a return to traditional victorian values I wonder. What next, three year olds up chimneys?

On the less gloomy side. Bloody good on ya Jim, if it does pan out, enjoy it mate. Being british you bloody well earned it

All the very best.

But I am a bit more actve now, I do one situp a day. I sit up in bed around 8 AM, look at the alarm clock, realize I don't have to be anywhere or doing anything, then I lay back down!

I'm slowly getting back in shape, for what, I have no clue.

I retired from fire department 2 years ago. It is a younger man's job.
Congratulations on your second or real retirement. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Don't come to Merkelstan then. Our retirement age got lifted to 67 and the greatest thing: your pension gets taxed - again. Pretty smart move by our glorious leaders: tax the income, deduct the pension contribution, later when you'll receive it: pay up again!

Good for you Jim.

Now you can spend more time with the wife......

Catfish · 08-10-13, 04:45 PM

Jim, best of luck indeed

All the best Jim. Enjoy.
