As far as Local Government goes, my reward for a lifetime's service will probably be a carriage clock and a cushy pension - but that depends mostly on my longevity! Plus those are under attack. I'll possibly sell myself to a Consultancy at some point to rake the competitive salary in!

My pension's pretty sweet ;D I pay a minimum of 2.5% of my wage slip in (I choose to pay 5% in), the company pays the equivalent of 8% in, and it's a personal pension so if I leave, I keep it all Have split my investments too, so that I'm currently getting a 50% return on my money Neko plans to be a rich OAP if he lasts that long!

If thats reall your concern invest in property. Whilst I can see the benefits of the public sector (worked in it for a short period of time) final salary pension etc., it all depends what you want. I know that it can't give me what I require, and I'm not scared to work for it etc., Everyone has their own agendas and I respect that

Talking about money makes Jules confused and distressed ;D Long story short; presently, I personally pay about £65 a month in, and the company pays £105 in. In a month's time, that £170 has grown to £255, give or take. Like I said, if I make it to retirement age, I plan to be a rich little bastard

I could be earning double what I am on a consultancy basis but it would mean I would barely be at home and when we choose to start a family there would be no flexibility for me. I like having a life beyond work and knowing that I have security.

While on the subject of pension, please tell me, oh mighty oracle, why people continue to put their investments in Japan and the US when they, on average, decrease by 50%? The logic in this decision makes Neko's head throb painfully as he attempts to understand it.

O Oracle O Oracle Why are you invincible? Because I have more brawn than Cav, more musical talent than Shippers, more acerbic wit than A2V, more beauty than Lee and more modesty than Ghandi. NB: The above may be a malfunction in the Oracle O/S. Please reboot and try again.
