It all depends how long you are going to live doesn't it? If you can afford it, I would say the bird in the hand is usually worth two in the bush. ;-) |

I took my works pension in the end. It was £4k - had not worked there very long. I could have got £5k pa had I taken the best market option and that looked v attractive. |

Kitty, it seems so unfair doesn't it? We got used to the idea of claiming the OAP at 63 then they snatched the rug from under us! I can get mine one week shy of my 65th, but my 5 months younger friend has to wait until she's 66. |

What I found so hard was that I had hardly any idea what income I would have in retirement - right up to several months after retirement. Still not 100% sure. Why? |
