      @MattRoutledge_FP 18 дней назад

      Hi Jennifer, to move them to a S&S ISA you would need to sell/transfer them from your RSU platform to your personal bank account, then re-invest this money into a S&S ISA.

      @mattroutledge_FP one more question if you don't mind. If you are under the CGT allowance for a given tax year, but the gain pushes you into a new bracket, do you then pay tax at the new bracket rate. I.e, could a CG mean that I start to lose my personal allowance over 100K? Thanks again for your help!

    loads of scaremongering has been done over the years by IFAs exaggerating how much money you need in retirement. If you own your own home and there are 2 of you, then the state pension will easily cover all essentials such as food and heating etc. And so you only then need a level of private income to cover holidays, eating out etc which can be scaled according to your own requirements.

      You don't live for free after paying off your home. There is still your regular Stamp and VAT taxes on said home that must be paid up and these days, they are near what the original monthly mortgage price was. 'You will own nothing and be happy" The bigger the social systems in a western nation, the higher the tax rate.

    A key issue to note is that folk already retired (or near retirement) are more likely to have been members of Final Salary Schemes/DBS - the vast majority of these offer indexed linked pensions. And, these schemes had vastly more invested in them by the organisations the folk worked for than the replacement Defined Contribution Schemes - an example: Back in 2008 I inherited a team of 8, 1 was on the DBS and the rest were on the DCA. My (internal) budget was charged 8% for the DCA colleagues and 37% for the DBS colleague...

    There are 2 sides to living comfortably in retirement. Of course building the best pension you can is certainly one half, but the other side is equally important- learning how to maximise the income you have by controlling your spending. Planning for retirement by reducing / getting rid of debt prior to retirement age is very important. Learning how to place less value on things and more on relationships and experiences is even more so. The latter makes you a better person, reduces your impact on the environment and a better citizen. It's not a sacrifice to consume less, it's a joy.

    My partner and I retired at the age of 58, and we are now 60. We were both fortunate to have Defined Benefit (DB) schemes, which provide annual payouts of £37k and £29k, indexed to the CPI. In addition to this, we have around £700k in SIPPs, ISAs, GIAs, and savings, with no debts. The DB scheme we were part of has recently closed, which seems to reflect a broader trend. We recognize how fortunate we have been. These videos are very informative-thank you for sharing

    For most of us ordinarily workers it's never actually enough. However it's important not to leave retirement too late for you. For majority that's well before state pension age So try to save to bridge that gap whilst you are more active to enjoy it That's my view. Can't imagine myself working at 67, volunteering yes. Presently I work 8 months a year & we live within our mean s.

    Something I see that is never touched on is if said person owns their own home. How would this factor in? I’ve got lots of investments, but I rent (don’t want to buy). For this example, does this person have 300K and they own their home? Or they have just 300k net worth? And does that net worth include if most of their wealth is tied up in their home?
