    UK: Ecotricity supplies renewable e. Co-Operative bank first to offer fully digital accounts (back in 1999, branded 'smile' - mine's still going, but appaz they're closed to new business. Legendary mgmt troubles, and my pension with them got closed down).
    Took 10 months to consolidate pension savings and invest with purpose, not simply avoid the most visibly harmful. Company called Path worked for me, but we're all different (especially freelancers!) #statepension

  21. #Petition #UK #StatePension

    STOP THE STATE PENSION BEING TAXED: RAISE TAX THRESHOLD

    153,327 signatures so far

    Because of the frozen tax personal allowances, the top of the new state pension may breach the current personal allowance of £12570 in 2026

    This would lead to the ludicrous situation of the state pension safety net, which has already been paid for through national insurance and tax, being taxed again

  24. Propaganda effects the home country population. These figures may be a little out of date. And #UKGovernment plans to increase #NI and reduce the ponzi scheme known as #statepension this system has to change.

  25. the state of #arizona is apparently getting ready to vote on a bill that would "invest' up to 10% of all public funds (including stuff like pensions for teachers, cops, and firefighters etc) into crypto.

    state pension funds are some of the largest pools of money on the planet and they have long been targeted by the crypto industry as prime targets for draining into the hands of crypto bros. some states (Wisconsin, maybe others) have already taken the plunge. i have no idea if katie hobbs will sign this bill but mark my words arizona won’t be the last.

  26. Holy shit... I didn't even know this was a thing and the govt (tory scum) covered it up, still won't say what the problem is, how many are affected... there's people who are missing a couple of years.

    Turns out... I'm missing 8yrs myself.

    From 2010 to 2017, I'd given up work to help care for my late father.

    I was on benefits during that time partly as a carer and partly due to my own health issues.

    For that entire time... I've been entitled to a weekly credit towards my national insurance contributions that you pay to be entitled to your state pension when you retire.

    I was prompted to look into my NI record after I was told about a deadline this April for topping up any shortfalls from the years 2006-2016 in your record.

    Up to 2009, I have all full years aside from 90-91 and 93-94 when I was still starting out in life and looking for a career that interested me. Not really an issue as more than 30yrs. It's 2yrs out of the approx 35yrs required. Not a problem when you have a working life of around 50yrs.

    But I wanted to retire early, I don't want to work until I'm 67... and because of this, I'd have too.

    So now I need to get working and investigating how I can get this record corrected.

    That missing 8yrs, is enough to get me over the finish line so that I could retire in my 50's, some 10yrs early.

  27. #WASPI fight is valid. Men born in the #50s & #60s didn't stop #work for #babies, they built #private & #StatePension. #Wives were still expected to be at #home a long time after the 1975 #SexDiscrimination Act. For #women, continuous or full-time #employment & #workpensions weren't as expected nowadays. #Women hadn't the same chance to #save for #retirement but their #pensionage is the same. Shouldn't their have been work & #saving #equity before the #age changed?
