Enjoy catching up on your sleep and getting used to daylight hours Jef I never worked shifts but I did work on-call for 3 decades and that was bad enough with working a whole day, being on-call during the night (getting called out 0 - 4 times a night) and then working the next day. It was a wonder I never (as far as I know) made a mistake with a patient that next day. I was so pleased when the EU's Working Time Directive came in and I'd get sent home in the afternoon that next day if I had been called out in the middle of the night.

Thanks 2triornot2tri that backs up my decision to go for a level annuity as I wrote about on page 306 fetcheveryone.com/forum/the-retirement-thread-61674/306 In making that decision, I had used a RPI rate of 6% for every year. My feeling (I am not an actuary) is that the forecast high inflation rate (and therefore RPI) over the next few years won't necessarily mean that new annuitants will be better off with a RPI annuity rather than a level one because surely the actuaries/underwriters will factor in high inflation and just reduce the starting figure. Of course, existing RPI annuitants will have got a higher start point and be protected from inflation by RPI increases. |
