Thinking sensibly (my thoughts obviously, others may differ) if health and all other circumstances are looking good in 18 yrs when i hit 55, i’m going to take my 25% tax free lump sum to start with, and see where i am with rest depending on amount remaining etc regards tax.

I wouldn't 'bank' on being able to take your 25% in 18 years time. What money I've got is going into property. I do like a gamble but don't want to end up with nowt.

That is what I think, I would rather "things" than numbers on a bit of paper

Mine too eggs I have already got one that I rent out that brings 5k a year in and it is earning from day 1 There is some work with the renting but you are not lining the suit pockets. My advice to anyone is to either buy new or a wreck and gut it you will have many trouble free years and can be picky with your tenants. I let mine through an agent who finds me a tenant then I 

 manage the money and day today things myself. I know 3 financial advisors and they all have a good life with not a lot of work and they all have some property investments.

I’m buggered either way eggs till i’m 55 cos i cant touch it till then. I’d buy another house tomoz with what i have already in my sipp pot if i could. Time will tell though, owt could happen between now and then.

Must get on and get something sorted myself.... Not sure what yet.... most likely buy a property to rent out will see.... Times moving on though! keeps getting put on the back burner

Pensions are for miserable old bastards who are always moaning about being skint, so I’m buggered if I’m getting one.

That edict, staying pretty after dying young is likely to get tougher too, with the proposed ban on the use of formaldehyde in embalming.
