Another thing to do if you have no dependents/partner is to submit a form to the pension scheme giving your wishes in the event of your demise

My pal whose dad we buried 18 months ago just got contacted about his pension that he didnt know about, payout with his sister was about 30 grand between them I think. Sad cos his dad died lamenting not having much to pass down. Sadder still for me cos we're locked down so I can't tell him the drinks are on him and his dad.

Can you sleep in the caravans?

You could but they had to be let out for a % of time. It was a long time ago now - 20+ years - so I can't remember the details only the loss. The income was nice but essentially the purchase was money down the toilet. I was young and on a big salary.

There is a thing to look up contact details for pension schemes based on who your employer was if you think you might have old pension pots you've lost track of https://www.gov.uk/find-pension-contact-details

The form to tell pension providers (work pensions or SIPP) what you want to happen in the event of your demise is called a

"Death Benefit Nomination Form"

As I said - they don't HAVE to follow your wishes but they will take them into consideration.

I need to get all my various pension pots put into a sipp. My #2 pension keeps oscillating, I put £10k into the fucker (over 4 years), then it doubled in a year, then it lost a third, then it doubled, then it halved, then it doubled, last time I looked it was about £25k. This is with scottish widows, not some financial gambling spiv.

I think I have about 12 various workplace pensions most of which I cant remember the details of, is there are way to combine them into a SIPP? I fancy shorting Tesla, that price is a bubble.

Yes, you can set up a tax-free SIPP, then instruct all your various workplace pensions to transfer into it. This is MUCH better than having 12 mediocre pension providers doing a not-very-good job of managing your money, AND creaming off 12 separate fees on top of it.

Now, you will have to manage your own investments, which honestly isn't that hard. Most of my pension is in passive index trackers and a couple of active funds that have consistently performed really well. Aim for long-term investments, don't be continually fiddling around with your money, buying and selling on gut feeling and stay away from clever, complicated stuff that's supposed to bring you quick returns, but won't. (i.e. short selling, currency speculation, loving bitcoin etc etc.)

On pension providers specifically, they're often bizarrely bad at providing decent (or often, any) returns on the money you entrust them with. Since the FTSE was set up, it's grown at an average of just over 8% a year, which you'd think would make for a pretty easy life if you're the sort of person who manages other people's money: just bung it all in the FTSE, then head off to the pub: job done. I mean, that's what I'd do.

Instead, they feel that they have to intervene and they think up all these investment strategies that seem very clever when they're explained but generally fail to outperform the stock market and quite often even lose money. Then they charge you a substantial fee for their work, which reduces your returns even further. If you have multiple pensions, then you've got a whole bunch of guys mucking around with your money, which is even worse.

i dont have to worry about any of that because im too poor lol!!!!!

if you guys buy any weightlifting/fitness stuff highly recommend strength shop and not fitness superstore. Fitness superstore use some real poo poo courier who took a week to deliver my stuff and the poor delivery driver was obviously stressed to hell and almost forgot half my order.

tho they're out of stock of everything so this is probably useless advice.

Waiting on the results of a tenancy credit and reference check - we got incredibly lucky to get first dibs on a perfect place, but I'm a full-time student and my wife's temporary contract at work just ended. We've got plenty of money in savings (plus my student loan and NHS bursary) so it should be fine, but I know being a student isn't ideal for this. If we don't get it we're in trouble, because the lease at our current place runs out soon and 2 bed places in our budget in this area are like gold dust. gently caress I hate this poo poo every time we need to find a new place to rent, but buying is completely unrealistic for us for a few more years at least. :sigh:

lol honestly if you think about it deliveroo are great. people expect their stuff delivered like 30 minutes after they order and they expect their stupid soup orders and coffees not to be leaky as poo poo :argh:

as far as i can tell deliveroo (usually) provide credit or refunds for missing items and spilt orders.

for awhile you could get an instant refund by just marking the food as uncooked :suicide: thanks students for doing that CONSTANTLY and getting it removed

I was joking about Tesla. The first problem with the ftse is that it's constituent membership changes all the time. I remember some stocks gameshow back in the 80's that I played along with. I invested all my £10k into polypec and bcci. :v:

Just put them all in a simulator where they get to shout at a vr secretary in the morning and gently caress her in the afternoon, it would save millions

Maybe make their car in the simulation the best one in the car park for their grade, then level up every 2 years
