Spend, Spend, Spend

So excited - just been informed that I'm getting a 0.50% rise on my work's pension. Now I have a real dilemma, just what do I spend it on? Cruise? Clothes? New Car? Answers on a postcard.

Dear Viv Nicholson
Don't let it go to your head

[Mamyalynne]

Put it towards a stamp.

Or stop whinging and count your blessings? Revolutionary, I know.

I'll have a look round on investments on the internet for you. will get back later.

[teacake44]

Oh, forgot to add there will be just a small charge.

What Maggie is nae telling us, is that her pension is £1M
So that's £5,000 ;o)

Buy a decent book of poetry, maybe. If it will stretch to it of course !

[teacake44]

On the information supplied by TB my fee has just increased.

I got the same, teacher's pension. Works out at 25p per week.

[Bobbisox1]

Same here , not much on a BT pension either

[gulliver1]

Rip off Britain.

[emmie]

my company pension stays the same, works out less than 2quid a week, not extra just that, it goes in on June 12, can't wait

[emmie]

why is it rip off Britain.....

[Bobbisox1]

I’m not complaining though, I’m pleased I worked for a company that saw to it we had a pension from them

[emmie]

i only was able to pay into mine for 1 year, then i was made redundant,

[Bobbisox1]

That’s a shame Emmie but having a private pension can work against you at times , opticians ,etc , was going to say dentist but most are private now anyway

[emmie]

its works out 134.16 per annum, there is no icrease its not one of those pensions.

Put it toward a train ticket to the south west of England to find out how they manage without anything as vulgar as money, Maggie.
Please report back should you reach the cash-free utopia of Paignton. ;-)
