Different to state pension though, what you set up privately or have through your works pension scheme can be more flexible. I reckon state pension is going to be phased out altogether now that the law says every employer must provide their own pension scheme. By the time I retire the bar will probably be raised to 70!
I know that was just saying and you're probably right about the phasing out but not bothered have the Euro millions numbers for tonight
I thought when that happened, the jackpot went to the people that had 4 numbers and the 2 bonus balls or whatever. At least that is what my stupid coon of a wife told me last week
So did I but she may have been half right,think that'll happen next week unless won tonight. https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/double-good-news-euromillions-players-20397198
Doubtless you have been benefiting from an extremely generous pension since just after the Korean War? I am getting old and slowing down, but thanks to those ****ing Tory bastards, I won’t be getting my state pension for another 9 years, rather than 7. Been paying in since leaving school in 1977. Inequality means inequality for all. ****s.
If I’d worked for Guinness I can’t see any way I’d have lasted 35 years without a liver transplant and a wet brain, so fair play to your mate for staying the distance.
Guinness used to look after their workers in the old days,private health care and even paid for drying out treatment
Not many firms look after their workers these days, and the once that do try to offer good pay and conditions, are undercut by shyster companies like Amazon, Uber etc.
I must first of all advise all correspondents that I 'live' in Edinburgh but usually f**k of to Koln or Bavaria for three or four lengthy holidays each year. I have completed a wee bit research so here goes: Contributions to Public Retirement Insurance Scheme (the State Retirement Pension in the UK); Either 18.6% or 19.5 of gross monthly salary (different sources) ....... 50% paid by the employer ...... 50 paid by the employee that is less than 'our' personal National Insurance Contributions (NIC) in the United Kingdom. There is a ceiling on the earnings on which the contributions are based ...... Euros 6700 or Euros 6500 dependent on source information ...... in effect the MAXIMUM monthly contributions paid by an individual is around Euros 630. Benefits at age 65 (rising to age 67 by 2029): The 'state' pension receive is based on the number of years contributions have been paid, an individual's average income over his/her working life and the age of retirement. The reported sums paid to German born residents are around 50% of an individual's wage/salary on retirement. Of course some may receive a good deal less and others may receive a bit more. I hope this helps. It would therefore seem that 'Kurt' was not taking the pish!
