CETV 2.7m to leave or not?

It's crunch time. After 4 CETVs it' time to either take the pension or bail out of it. I really don't know what to do.

    How much is the pension and what age is it being taken at?

    Out of interest, is this a post that you are expecting a response to or is it just a general statement borne out of frustration because you can’t make your mind up? Or is it just a leg pull since £2.7 million seems an unfeasibly large CETV? 

    I can understand if it’s 2, can’t help if it’s 1. since you have given no context or information and if it’s 3. then ......

    A £2.7m CETV - really? Sounds like a wind up, but I expect you'll get plenty of mugs responding!

    Toss a coin.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    What does your financial advisor say ? Presumable you have at least run it past a couple ?

    A CETV of that amount has to put you in the top 0.05% in the country.  Not your typical MSE poster.

    I'm investing everything I have into a bitcoin casino.  It is going to be hard to set the odds for the slots though, as the price may have halved / doubled by the time you finish pulling the handle!
