Pension pots

[Harry T]

I'm a fair while from retirement but have several pension plans from previous employers. They are a pain to track so I opened a SIPP with Fidelity and I am nearly done moving these other pensions into the SIPP. This way I have a lot more control and visibility. I have ISAs and another 'old' company pension already with Fidelity and I love their clear online interface and their charges are transparent and fair.

I also have a 'live' pension with my current employer which is growing well, so just 2 places to check my savings now. Much easier.

Yes Trefor, i have a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) with Hargreaves Lansdown which means you choose how much and what Stocks or Shares to invest in.

What does the she pay Fred, I have tried to look into this and the figure I am seeing is around £700+ per year

Not 100% sure Steve..Think it was like 400 Quid last year...(but then my Mrs was about 20 yrs in UK)
Me??? I decided years ago to tell them all to get stuffed,invest my own money in my own way and retire 25 years early..
So far my retirement plan has been working out just fine..
That said,I think the Mrs is due a bit more for running everything..
Negotiations next year perhaps?
It`s all getting a bit political for my liking and yet the price of SMB keeps going up.!
Its a bit worrying not knowing where your next beer will come from.

Thanks Fred,
My pension plans are going well i am thinking, saving plans too, but its the when leaving plan that is where i seem to be having problems, i can see me leaving Emma here ,
Ems state pension we are going to let that go we are thinking, thats unless she is still here for what ever reason , then she will just carry it on, but why pay into something when you may never able to claim it,
