I'm sorry, but this will only be true if the value of the pension pot at death plus the 'crystallisation value' of any pension benefits taken by the deceased prior to death is below the Lifetime Allowance (LTA). If the LTA threshold is crossed, then taxes WILL apply. Its over £1m. If you have a pot that size why worry!!!!

But the theory is as you retire your outgoings are lower so in that respect it should last a bit longer than 20 years. Still at 85-90 you probably peeing yourself and had enough anyway

Yes, but if you scroll back, the question was about how best to leave money to kids free of tax and not about eking out a pension fund until incontinence claims its ultimate victory

Protect them yes but actually feel good that you had a s***e hard start and they don’t have to. Twisted logic imho. First favourite at Kempton whilst on your death bed. See how much they love you then ha ha

But then his whole post is full of muddled thinking. Maybe you could explain this comment because I fail to see any issue with my post. This is just a passive aggressive comment.

So you come on a football website for financial advice about a £1m pension fund........... And I have muddled thinking! As has been said after your mortgage is paid you don't need the average UK salary to live comfortably. However, If you get the enhanced UK pension and want the average UK salary per year to live on a pension pot of £1M would last around 40 years. So that's 106 if you retire today at retirement age.

As I have mentioned couple times on here my folks had nothing, scraped by day to day & when they passed away we (the brothers) all pitched in to cover the funeral costs, there was never ever going to be anything passed down to us - So I have worked long & hard, made certain sacrifices over the years to ensure that my kids have it a lot easier than I did, more recently the chance of a Uni education, the deposits for their first property etc etc & something in the bank to help sustain them when I go - I am not living particularly frugally but I feel that if I give them a leg up, they will hopefully be in a position financially to give their kids a leg up & so on

I just don’t get this leaving it to the kids. Yes it’s great if you have it to leave but would you live a frugal existence just so your kids have it easy.

Does anyone think that we are due a revisit to the IHT allowances situation - its been at £325,000 for some considerable time ( 2007 I think) & £325,000 today buys you a lot less than it did in 2007 - OK Couples can now combine their allowances but it still seems low compared to modern day housing valuations & living costs - Also - Costs down South are markedly higher than up North, maybe there should be a North / South divide on allowance's ?

Being mortgage-free at this point in the economy, has got to be a relief. Only yesterday I saw poor local have his home loaded up and taken away. Another family homeless.
I disengage, I turn the page. |

I've put both my daughters though uni. One has a masters now. And I helped them get on the housing ladder as well. We have worked kin hard to get there as well.
