Expand What's your extra payment @Clive , is it a personal or company pension that you have ? I ask because I live on a company pension plus what I earn by buying and selling etc. When I get my state pension in 2024 my company pension will reduce pro rata, so I probably won't be getting anymore than I do now. For clarity, I took my company pension aged 51 on a reduced rate when they shut the factory and made us all redundant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was a little better prepared for retirement.....as I was on just above the minimum wage for many years before I retired so my monthly take home pay was around 1200 per month....and my wife missed the last six years of her working life due to her ailments....so the drop in income was not so profound. But someone earning say 35,000 quid a year to drop down to basic state pension is one hell of a drop in living standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
