How much to live on

I would say keep the DB pension. Nothing like a guaranteed pension income for life, especially if there any form of index linking attached. Each to his own of course.
I am just very grateful that all my pension income is guaranteed for life with with index linking.It certainly removes any stress and uncertainty associated with income dependent on investments.
DB income may be seen as less flexible but as far as I am concerned it is something with which I can easily live.Saving To Keep Ahead Of The Game — MoneySavingExpert Forum
