Have a situation and would appreciate some guidance.

Thank you.

Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect £200…

Buy Seroxat
Sell bromide

Put wife on the game.

if really broke, go on the game yourself.

Yes, e-mail in profile, I just need the long number off the front of your card, the expiry date and those 3 digits off the back.

Do not collect £200

An exact analogy, SFB!

I failed to collect my free cash from Fatcha.

I didn't buy shares in her car-boot sale of national assets
I couldn't buy my council house for peanuts and sell it for diamonds
I worked in the public sector during years of wage freezes and below-inflation settlements

oh I get it – you accepted low pay for pension security, but then it was realised that was too expensive so you'll have to live in a skip ?

you accepted low pay for pension security

What will your pension pay?

What will your pension pay?

1/2 lb of Everton mints and all the arse shots he can take.

unemployed 1997-2010 were you?

Nope

But also employed 1969 – 1996

Educate yourself

1/2 lb of Everton mints and all the arse shots he can take.

Could you express that in terms of eightieths (1/80ths) of final salary?

blimey you're old. You ought to sort yourself out with a pension.

Do you want to change your dates Edukator?

1969 – 1996

You ought to sort yourself out with a pension

I've got one

It's so pitifully small I still have to work virtually full time

see SFB's brainless post above – "pension security" – LOL

You can mock about age – but even my pitiful financial situation is bliss compared to what the young ones on here face

What will your pension pay?

little or nowt, but isn't this about you ?

see SFB's brainless post above – "pension security" – LOL

how can it be brainless? – for lack of information I was guessing…

eldridge – ignore the heartless comments and callous mocking 😐

So anyway. What's this situation you find yourself in ……..I'll see if I can provide you with some guidance and "professional" advice.

Is this financial situation you speak of in anyway connected to your "mental health issues" ?

how can it be brainless? for lack of information

No – for lack of understanding.

Public sector pension contributions are not invested in the stock market. They are subsumed into general government revenue, and pensions are then paid out of general government income. They can be held down or cut at the whim of governments because they are not tied to any kind of connection with stock market values.

See Greece, today

ignore the heartless comments and callous mocking

As if I wouldn't!

No – for lack of understanding.

which bit didn't I understand ?

they are not tied to any kind of connection with stock market values

which are not equally or more volatile ?

which bit didn't I understand ?

He's already told you : "See Greece, today "

He's already told you : "See Greece, today "

and that counts as an answer to what ?

Dunno…………….maybe that's where he thinks his pension's gone ?

That could certainly help explain his apparent concern.

But he definitely mentioned Greece.

But he definitely mentioned Greece.

it was jealousy – the retirement age there is 53 (they said yesterday on the radio)
