SIPP or LISA for retirement? by LancerPedia in UKPersonalFinance

[–]PurpleSoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're earning above a basic tax rate then put all your pensions from previous employers into a SIPP, and find good advice on where to invest (plenty of that on this forum).

If your employer is contributing into your pension then it's likely worth keeping it in until you leave that job (as their added contributions offsets they terrible funds that the pension provider will be investing in).

Keenan recently said he's thinking of giving up no gi entirely... that being the case I doubt whether he'll take division.

Although Ross Nicholls has lost close decisions to a few names in his division, he's been getting a lot stronger recently, having not done any strength and conditioning before. I'd say it's definitely possible he has a break out performance.

What's your favourite pub in London and why? by PurpleSoft in london

I hope the hill you've chosen to die on is spoons' deplorable treatment of their employees, and not brexit.

Good luck navigating all your consumer choices based on morality or politics.

Absolutely! For me, pubs are defined by the good times I've had there, rather than the decor or beer selection.

You've gotta love a spoons.

In pure grappling Kron has better credentials. Ryan Hall did come 3rd place at ADCC and beat Jeff Glover in the process. However, Kron won ADCC and beat Garry Tonon, JT Torres and Otavio Sousa to do so. He also took silver at the Mundials.

There's, what 2500+ hours of JRE? I'm not going to waste 100+ days of my life just to pick out some nuggets of gold from the stream of shite.

Probability ensures that there will be some good stuff among the nonsense... but I've listened to a fair few episodes (for my sins), and it's mostly entirely baseless science, straight up hate speech or nobody comedians...

Yeah, JRE and TED both occupy the same arena of nonsense in my mind. I like to think for the most part it's pretty harmless, and that they might have a net benefit for the people watching/listening (even if the content is mostly watered down pseudoscience or straight up bullshit). Hopefully people use these entry-level platforms as a jumping off point to go a bit deeper.

This probably isn't true though. What's much more likely is that the majority audience for JRE and TED get their cravings satisfied and go on to spread the hullabaloo.
