    The golden NHS pension is not a myth, most people working in the private sector can only dream about having such a good pension.
    Join the public sector then.
    I was once told that I was very lucky to have my Armed Forces pension.  I replied that yes, I was very lucky - to have completed my 22+ years with my life, limbs and mind intact.  Unlike so many others.

    Horses for courses.

    So to sum up thread;

    Slightly naive OP descends into usual public vs private sector pension debate.

    Usual tropes about public and private sector pay to back up usual positions.

    Wait for the next version coming to you soon.

    To be fair, at least we had a chance to educate the OP on how generous the schemes is and sometimes, it works with the OP understanding!  :) We generally do not want OPs to opt out of the DB schemes!

    Asking to transfer CETV with a complaint about high fees the adviser want and why it is so difficult is the one that got on my nerves! Thankfully, you do not see many of these anymore.
