Can I also thank you for your contribution to my civil service pension and indeed my wife`s teacher pension also.
Cheers Easy! :beer:

Good of you to acknowledge your self centred focus on the financial wealth of you and your family. Honesty at least.

Yet another individual to have benefitted personally from pretending to be concerned for society at large.

I do feel sorry for your grandchildren though and the effect your selfishness will have on them

It is telling however that you have no response to my post. I assume you acknowledge your hypocracy and admit you're just in it for yourself?

Or are you going to hand back your pension and keep working so more orphans can have hip replacement's.

After all you don't need to go to Thailand , you can remain in post doing the invaluable work you currently are. That would be best for the nation (of course not so good for you but you have never been motivated towards looking after Moby have you)

You can choose to believe this or choose not to.....when I made a decision re. my future career I had a choice....it was law or becoming a public servant....I started in law and it bored the crap out of me....I then got a job in a hostel for homeless men in Chester and really enjoyed it...I then used the experience to train and go into the Probation Service......the rest is history. I had no idea my pension would turn out to be so valuable or so contentious years later. I didn't think about it at all! I appreciate it now of course... because I am near early retirement but there was no planning or design whatsoever....that's only happened in the last couple of years! Its a !!!!! of a job and the pay is poor compared to what I could have got but yes the pension will be good and will be index linked! swings and roundabouts!

Mistermeaner

Understand all that, but you now have knowledge and tge ability to make choices.

You can:

A) keep working, voluntarily overpay tax and when you retire at 67 give back large portions of your pension (best for society)

retire early on the back of your incredibly generous pension (that you dont NEED) funded at tge expense of more needy people within society so you can enjoy a long and wealthy retirement including holidays to Thailand.

Which are you choosing oh paragon of virtue?

No reason to disbelieve your story Moby, yours is one that is probably typical of many that choose a life of public service. Not being as bright as you, I was fully clued up to the fact that to receive a decent pension then I had to target a job that came with one. My chosen career has come at a price physically and mentally, so I feel I`ve earned my generous pension.
I`ve personally no problem with those who back their talents and eke out a sometimes more lucrative and less stable career in the private sector, although quite why so many of them then go onto to begrudge the public sector their pensions I don't know.
Good on ya, and enjoy your retirement when it comes.

I'm going early...but it's not the LGPS pension that allows that....I'm paying into a SIPP like you which will be a bridge.

You are still ignoring the options you have to keep working for the greater benefit of society.

I believe you have proved yourself to be a hypocrite.

you are a natural conservative : self interested, pragmatic, ignorant and proud of it and a bit self deluded.
nothing wrong with anything there

You should keep working until 67 at least or society will suffer. The nation can't afford for you to retire at 60.
