I have an Ikea Marcus as mentioned above but that has just about given up after about 10 years. I’m also looking at the Aeron and they seem to be available for around £300 second hand. The Marcus is quite slim so could be a good fit for the OP.

I read a statistic once that said a child will always grow to be taller than the mother..

I think that only applies if the child is male. Anyone have fully grown boys that are not as tall as their natural mother?

This article shows that pensions are generally better than ISAs for pension provision.

The example shown doesn’t take into account matched employer contributions either. The only flaw I see is it assumes growth is the same for each type of investment but the pension fund I am in don’t have a great selection of funds to choose from and my ISA does outperform my pension. However, for a SIPP which has a wide range of investment choices you can assume it will grow at the same rate as an ISA.

There’s a lot of myths being banded around here (as to be expected I guess).

Agreed. Going back to the OPyour-options-at-retirement/drawdown-vs-annuities]here’s [/url] a good comparison between drawdown versus annuities once you have taken your 25% tax free lump sum.
