What do you guys think will happen once the calculator is up and running?
if you are somewhat better off moving back to your old scheme, is it the final part of the decision to leave? Plenty of talk about the pension and the money, but not so much on the quality of life and new challenges out there.
I ask because I had coffee with two fanatical lifers today, and both are changed people… they want figures to see if their guesstimates are close. Two institutionalised individuals have surprised me beyond belief. PAS pensions, low/ no mortgages and a thirst to live their lives.
We’re all different, but curious to know if they’re one offs or is the new calculator going to crash in the first 5 minutes.
sounds like two fanatical ‘lifers’ who are now not so fanatical after seeing the real figures - usually means the chiselers who are better off staying in
