Cankles-McJeggings Old-Dutch Along_the_Wire Yeh that sucks mate. My wife’s business saved us from complete ruin but I have probably lost 2 years off retiring. I was on course for 63. My dad retired at 55 and he’s 87. Retired with a full wage pension too. Props. Those days are long gone.
Dubman Cankles-McJeggings My mum retired once the mortgage was paid off when she was 68. My dad who turned 78 this week & is still working full-time was hoping to retire this year. No chance now what with rising energy costs and food prices going up.
alistair Pension investment performance has been absolutely dire in the last year and for what. Everyone’s still catching the fucking thing again and again. Pity those just about to retire
alistair Cankles-McJeggings something like that. And now you’ve got the double whammy of those high tech stocks (remote learning, peletom etc etc) which spiked at the start of covid in absolute freefall.
Smallman1 alistair he fixed the roof while the sun was shining! Not mine, he sourced the £4k option too!
Cankles-McJeggings Dubman Fuck me fair play. I didn’t think that was even allowed? What does he do if you don’t mind me asking?
Dubman Cankles-McJeggings He works for the NHS transport services. He’s not going to stop now either. He was the manager but stepped down due to the stress of it. So now he’s just a driver.

Old-Dutch Massive respect but a fucking shit show he’s having to work when he should be enjoying retirement.
