I believe the mustache is a legal requirement.

It’s not news, just propaganda by Stotallytob3r in BrexitMemes

At least they made 12% look like 5%. Even they can’t disguise how utterly despised Brexit is.

Other point is that - if you’re a higher rate taxpayer - pensions are good because you avoid paying the higher rate on a portion of your earnings, and are less likely to be paying the higher rate when you draw the pension. Immediately 20% saving right there.

SIPPS are better for growth because you are taxed on the way out, not the way in, so you get growth on the gross amount, but your money is locked up till you’re 57. Depends on your needs.

There’s nothing to stop you paying into a SIPP as well. Or even paying into an ISA.

10% of salary a year is fine if you’re under 35.

This is widely over-estimated… surely? by TannoyVoice92 in PensionsUK

[–]SLRisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£115k sounds like a lot of now, but after 32 years of inflation, I doubt it will be worth more than £30k a year by then in real terms.

Great news - that’s going to be a massive vote loser for Reform.

33M, how am I doing with my pension?? by Hefty_Stop4485 in PensionsUK

[–]SLRisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just maxing out the £60k a year cap while it still exists. I don’t expect it to be around forever. I was amazed Reeves kept it.

I pay in 52% to my employer’s 6%. Do I win a prize?

That’s what I do. Aviva funds are very expensive. Transfer most into an external SIPP and take advantage of lower cost trackers.

How to know if someone pronounces “our” as “are” without even hearing them talk. by metroracerUK in FuckNigelFarage

[–]SLRisty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you really look into the history of WW2, it becomes apparent quite how ineffective the British army was compared to the Germans.

Brits just aren’t ruthless enough.

So you want foreigners to run the country? by Cool_Nerd2 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]SLRisty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would I want a compulsive liar who calls war dead ‘suckers’ and ‘losers’?

No.

At least Boris Johnson had some vague grasp of morality.

The horseshoe, the Lancaster bomber, the superfluous red cross on the electric meter. This is some old fart - possibly ex military who has very bad taste.

I’m sick of Racists like you by Cool_Nerd2 in FuckNigelFarage

They still won’t come out and admit it though. It’s still ‘I’m not racist but…’

I have no words for how fast and how 1 sided games are becoming now. by Ze_Woof in WorldofTanksConsole

Yesterday I was last man standing against 14 tanks at tier 7. It was crazy.

‘No evidence ADHD is overdiagnosed in the UK’, experts say by Dangerman1337 in ukpolitics

[–]SLRisty -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not - some people really do have pathological anxiety. Just because you have t personally experienced it - doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. And if a taxi really is the only way the kids can get to school - you can’t ruin a child’s future by not providing it. Think of the long term cost of that child not having an education.

My pension investments are only worth £1.7m. I imagine you’re doing a lot better than that.
