Pension Blunder

Options
2»

Comments

  • Tactical error by expending without having the cash for it.

    Solutions include:
    - Extend overdraft
    - Take out a loan

    If you are drawing pensions already then it really concerns me that you don't have a rainy day fund. Please review that aspect urgently.

    Indeed. Those without emergency cash should NOT cash in pensions.

    ...don't know about anyone else, but when I had some windows replaced last year, the price I was quoted was on the basis of payment by debit card/cheque on the day of completion. Doubt whether they would have taken credit card !!!

    Not sure a cheque would be any safer than a credit card in such circumstances. The suppliers may have to pay a fee to the CC company but other than that, why would they not take a credit card?
