Re: It's pension time.
I swear by my cash book method, in which I enter all my incomings and outgoings, and on the first page I have a column of all my DDs, then at the bottom all the pensions coming in.Re: It's pension time.
When I was first married, we kept a watch on the incomes & outgoings, but as our financial situation improved, we relaxed a bit. For convenience, I would like to have my state pension monthly, but it doesn't matter too much as I keep a reasonable 'buffer' to smooth out the peaks & troughs.Re: It's pension time.
Re: It's pension time.
What a coincidence Grumblewagon, I also receive my state pension in a couple of weeks. Although I have applied for it online I don't know how much I'll be getting. I retired at sixty in 2010 and have been surviving on savings, works pensions and doing over the occasional house [only joking] I've had no problem at all settling into retirement, as Zuludog said in an earlier post, 'I don't know how I found the time to go to work' when I'm not running or walking, I'm reviving some old hobbies or surfing this site. It's nice to be able to talk to other mature people in a similar situation.Re: It's pension time.
Re: It's pension time.
We retired in our mid 50's and touse the well worn phrase, we've never been so busy. Financially it didn't work out too badly as we sold our house in Hampshire near the top of the market and moved to Scotland where the housing was cheaper, but rising. The interest (remember that?) on the capital from the house sale paid the rent on a modest semi while we looked for a house.
