In my other life long long ago, my then ex wife took half of my pension, and i did try to be fair and pay her lots of money not to take this but she did anyway, but that was a long time ago and since then my part has been in stocks and shares policy, i was able to take out 25% too,i must add i have never added to this policy,
Then the markets went down and lots was gone but hey the markets have gone back up, its made the 25% i took out and a few more thousands in the six years since i had it, so really i am pleased with that, but again in my eyes its not hard cash , its not a big part of my plan, and i could lose this money if the market crashes, silly to some maybe but its how i deal with things , yes if it all comes good we shall be fine , here is hoping
