No, various funds, not silly risk... but since my old pension provider offered me 30 times the value to move it, I would have been silly not to
Worked out that with an average return and a decent size pension the money won't run out until i am 97

Good man. Similar to my plan. I was hoping for 2 years from now but I'm not convinced yet.

Did this all start with an email from a Nigerian Prince?

30 mtimes seems about right at the moment, low interest rates and longer life expectancy means they want you off their pension books! And it means if I snuff it early the rest of the pot goes to the family, not just a small %

I was wanting to leave at 55 but as you say, not convinced that will cover it.... if i didn't have 3 kids then I would be out of the door on my 55th b'day

I must consolidate my 4 different pensions, with their minimal value :-( I won't be retiring any time soon
