Hi Guys,
I stopped making my own contribution towards my pension a year or so ago, on the basis that no matter how much I paid in it would just not be enough, and the meagre amount I would get back to live on when I retired would not be worth having!.
Stu and I then decided we should look to do something with our life, and we came to Calis on holiday fell in love with it, decided that we wanted to retire early (very early retirement for Stu as he is a number of years younger than me!!!), put all our savings including the money I had previously paid to a pension together bought a cute apartment and hope to move over permanently inside of a year.
I do understand though that at the age of 50 you can take a percentage of your pension out should you wish?.
