Re: What is a decent amount of income
I'm in a similar situation as I've said before, but no, I wouldn't tell anybody apart from my wife exactly what I'm earning/taking from my pension/leaving in there. You don't submit your personal income and other similar details to the world. That's just stupid and naive.Re: What is a decent amount of income
I understand how some people keep their income private. THat's their business. But I don't care myself. When my wife and I were both working full time, I had two jobs (One for various organisations and the other my private practice) and she had one. We were earning nearly $300k a year between us. To some on a basic wage with no skills margins that may seem like a lot. To others it is chickenfeed. It's all relative. But in both our opinions, even with a child to support, That was certainly enough for us. Now my wife still works FT but we live on less than half of that with the last of a mortgage still to pay. Our son does work part time and contributes. Our house needs work and the car needs updating. It will happen in time. Some of our friends are wealthier and get to go on overseas holidays more often. Big deal. Other friends have trouble making ends meet and are struggling.We still feel far from poor. No complaints at all.Re: What is a decent amount of income

Re: What is a decent amount of income
Pension wise offer good advice, but you need an independent pension advisor to advise you in what is best for you, I was going to see one in June but couldn’t make it, I will go in October, I’m hoping to semi retire next year, find a job doing something for a few hours a week, or even full time, just to avoid weekends and get out of the company I work for, I don’t have anything worked out financially, but I’m not too worried, something always turns up,we both have to wait until we’re 67, until we get the state pension, but I’m hoping to draw on my workplace pension and a private pension, the lady from pension wise said they are both good pensions..Re: What is a decent amount of income
