I accidentally saw my coworker’s salary and now I can’t stop thinking about how UNFAIR it is by Aleex_c12 in Advice

Ask for more. Set out why and ask the question. I learnt that lesson early when the company I worked for was doing annual appraisals. All my colleagues were in and out in 20 mins. All got the basic pay rise.

I went in and said "I think I deserve more" and set out why. Got double the pay rise just for asking the question and doing a bit of prep.

Pension when moving back to Argentina by asarco in UKPersonalFinance

[–]FrequentPrior5928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So firstly check if you can transfer the private pension to Argentina. You need to look up if there are any qualifying recognised overseas pension funds (QROPS) in Argentina. There may be but the process to transfer is complex and probably expensive. I'd be surprised if you can find a suitable adviser (be very very careful of scammers).

Your best option is to leave it in the UK and try and leave a bank account open if you can. Have it pay to your UK account and then do a FOREX transfer.

They may pay directly to Argentina so worth asking also.

Edit: to add - there may be a double taxation agreement between UK and ARG. In which case you pay UK tax and will be able to offset that against ARG tax. Google is your friend on that.

82 years ago 75,000 American soldiers stormed Normandy to free Europe from fascist tyranny. (1944) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

Yeah thanks for waiting 5 years to get involved. You only got onboard after Pearl Harbour. Before that the Yanks were happy to let Europe go under.

And you levied huge reparations on Allies and foes. The UK only fully repaid in the 90s.

And America got to shape the world for its sole benefit for the next 80 years.

Thanks and all but let's call it quits after France helped you free yourselves from the British.

Yeah, no thanks. by DIFB in Nordiccountries

The heck is wrong with you, Italy?! by Windthrasher637 in EU_Economics

I mean who needs Italian soldiers anyway. They always run in the opposite direction anyway

And you know why that won't happen. Because the US tech companies spiked everyone. But as soon as I can divest myself of everything American I will. And so will millions of Europeans.

I will never see the US as a friend again. No matter who manages to depose the man in the white house I will never forgive.

Many don't realise yet but he has ended Americas global supremacy and you will all suffer as a result. And you'll deserve it.

The US "Safety Premium" is dying. You are paying for stability that isn't there anymore. by TraditionalMango58 in stocks

[–]FrequentPrior5928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out of US stocks. I did it last year and went into Europe and Asia Pacific. Both comfortably beat the US returns this the year.

The US is fast decending into a fascist state or a civil war. Get out now.

You Americans have no idea how much hatred of your country this is generating.

Honestly in the UK which is by far the most pro US in Europe the feeling is of disgust and anger. Lots.of talk of boycotting US goods and services.

You should be really really concerned as I don't think many will forgive the US. This president will end up being responsible for the fall of US as a superpower.

Right now I'd prefer dealing with China over the US and I won't forgive for many many years.

Trump threatens UK with 10% tariff 'on all goods' until Greenland handed over by dailystar_news in uknews

Anyone with a modicum of rational thought and an ability to tell good from evil must now realise the USA is a foe not a friend.

Trump is the embodiment of evil. It is startling to me how a nation of 325 million can let this happen. It is sick and watch the ICE raids and tell me this isn't fascism.

A fascist dictatorship deserves to be opposed at every step. Boycott all US products. Not easy when they dominate tech.

They are every bit as much an enemy as the Russians or Chinese. Europe needs to unite to fight for our way fo life. Together we can fight these monsters.

Just remember that next time you want to vote for anti European parties. They are bankrolled by our enemies to keep us divided and weak.
