Assuming all pensions have been similarly affected we are all going to have to work till 70 at least to afford to retire :sad:

well done brexiteers you've F*ck@d everyones pensions up and the country has just been down graded by the Standard and poor which means the IMF will be coming in soon to demand SEVERE austerity measures to get the National debt down


Do you think that it is only the "Ins" who been affected - I looked at it in a totally different manner! The "Ins Politicians" argument was purely about finance, quality of life was never ever mentioned. The truth being is that they live in a totally different world to you and I, as their quality of life is rarely affected by whatever bad decision that they make, unfortunately ours is.

My decision was about EU corruption, endless unchecked immigration, criminals and terrorists being given free access (free movement etc), it was about stopping our civilisation being destroyed, and a few other things. It was never about money because I know that the vast majority are not going to benefit, basically we are not meant to. To put it into context, there are as they say...... "Some things in life that money cannot buy".

I no longer earn! Nevertheless, although threats were made to the retired population that their pensions would be affected by the "Fear Campaign"......
Quote:
How will pensions, savings, investments and mortgages be affected?

During the referendum campaign, the prime minister said the so-called "triple lock" for state pensions would be threatened by a UK exit. This is the agreement by which pensions increase by at least the level of earnings, inflation or 2.5% every year - whichever is the highest.
......... I still voted out.......WE DO NOT DO FEAR! There may very well be a bit of pain all round, nothing that we have not already been through, what we will have in the future, is a safer life.

If you look at the (vote map) it would seem that the "I'm alright Jack" attitude is alive and well in the UK - do/did they care about the majority who were not benefiting.....thought not. I am not going to regret for one minute trying to make something better for the majority.

Did you check the value of them? The size or weight will always be the same. The value, however fluctuates and usually when the value of shares and sterilng are volatile the price of gold will go up. If you check the value went up on Friday by £100 per ounce.

I would as well but I find it easier to just buy a Sovereign or 2 when I have the money. And when i retire i will be able to sell them as and when I need the money.
