Hi. My employer recently arranged for a representative of a private pension provider to come to our staff meeting. I am currently in temporary employement, as are several of my colleagues. We have a contract for one year, and until we get a permanent contract we will not be entitled to join the company scheme. But I am only 25. Why should I start a pension already?
Did you know that you could loose UP TO FIFTY PER CENT (!), just by opening you pension scheme after your thirtieth birthday? That is an awful lot of money to loose out on, just for the sake of not paying a small sum each month simply because you want to spend it on shoes and clubbing. So, go over to your nearest and dearest pension provider, preferrably a stakeholder, and get on with your payments!
