Many happy returns, Alastair - I also have just over a year to go.
If you can be wealthy on a pension in Canada, good for you! I'll be happy if I can still make ends meet...:unsure:

Re: Alastair is 21 Again.

The only thing about the British pension as an expat is that you don't get the cost of living indexation in most countries and I think Canada is one of them. It stays the same forever. :angry::frown:

Re: Alastair is 21 Again.

Pensions are not indexed if you are in a Commonwealth country but if you live anywhere else it is. That's certainly not at all fair.

As to being wealthy with a pension... you should note that I won't be retiring my web site so any pension is a genuine increase in earnings for as long as I can keep the web site running.

I will likely cut back a bit on the work I do on it but I enjoy it that much I won't be giving it up.

Re: Alastair is 21 Again.

I've spent the last few days 'commuting' between Niagara Falls and Oakville. I've been a bit busy with the Grandchildren (I am not complaining about that). But the the whole exercise has meant that I have not been spending as much time online as usual. And that is my excuse for not sending my wishes earlier on than this. One point on theUK pension indexing - if you happen to be spending a couple (or more) weeks back in the UK can you can apply to have the indexing applied for the period in which you are there. You need to provide details of your flight dates so that they can calculate the amount. This now makes me wonder if the same applies if you visit an EU country...

Re: Alastair is 21 Again.

I knew that Sandy......about applying for the extra when visiting the UK. It never seems worth the while for such a small amount if you are only there for a few weeks.
