Hmmm. Jimmy.

You have far too much interest in pensions for a younger man. This is not a healthy state of affairs. I don't have one but I'll be fine. :y

Stop stressing over when you're old and senile, and enjoy yourself instead:  ;) ;)

Never too early to start thinking about retirement & what lifestyle you would like , I can't imagine anything worse than having lots of time on your hands & not having the funds to enjoy it

I suppose it depends if people are willing to sacrifice their younger more healthy self for the 'possibility' they may live to a ripe old age and can afford the best care home. :)

Personally I have sacrificed zilch always had plenty of time with family when the kids were young  good holidays cars & homes & intend to carry on like that God willing , although as we all know any of us could " wake up dead" tomorrow.

Thankfully in our case none of the above will involve much sacrifice beyond working in full time employment. No kids and no prospect or desire to have any.  :y

Once the mortgage is paid off, I think about £75k pa will give us the kind of retirement I want. So then it becomes a game of trying to move that retirement as near to tomorrow as is feasible, while, as you say not making so many sacrifices as to make the time I. Between a drudge.

Yeah. Nice to know your family will be OK though.

Agreed. I worry about dear old STMO with this heat. I don't want to hear he has keeled over while walking the whippet or clearing out the pigeon loft.

I hope that some kindly OOF member(s) living close to Barnsleywakefield can make the effort to pop in and make sure the old boy has something to eat, and a change of clean underwear. :)

Old lives matter. :)

Thank you Opti for your genuine concern would be a more appropriate response. :-* :-* :-*

Inheritance tax is 40% on all your estate above £325K each, or £650K per couple. With 5 BTL's and a main residence, you've got to be quite close or over that?

On the other hand, money/assets held in a private pension fund (though not defined benefit pensions like police, civil service etc) are outside of your estate, and can be passed on tax free to anyone you nominate on your death.
