Shares, Share div v pensions

Post by stephen500 »

Everyone waits each year for their dividend. Approx a whole £130 year a year! In a couple of years we can also cash out approx £4000 (subject to share price). On top of that we get a one off payment of £750. Sounds great! Unless you are between 30 to 40, then you will lose about £5000 per year in pensions, assuming you live for 20 years from 60, that's £100,000 less for you. Even if you are 50, you lose about £2000 per year and I at 57 lose about £800. Words fail me.

Please,can we keep it to one thread per subject. It helps reduce the bandwidth for the site. Also because 2 of the threads were basically the same I merged them. http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 27&t=77979" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
