@Julius @Right Winger @Mocame @newirishman @Protocol @NoRegretsCoyote @Purple @Brendan Burgess article raises some important issues that need to be discussed. He says: "We are quickly turning ourselves from a nation of homeowners to a nation of renters". Can we reverse this trend, and if we...

@guido , How did you get on?

Could you have accidently activated FaceTime? I have just bought a Samsung Tablet and you can sign in via face recognition. Could this have happened without you intending to?

Yes I looked a couple of video reviews but they didn't really answer the two questions in my OP. Also, I've been in two retailers and the staff really didn't know whether you could convert the writing with the S Pen into text. In both shops I they were unable to demonstrate this function or show...

I want to get a Tablet (I've decided on Samsung A7 or S6 Lite). The main uses I'll make of the Tablet are reading newpapers/books and taking notes of info that interests me and accessing emails on the go. I'd like the notes I take from newspapers/books to be searchable by keywords. So my main...

Ok will do. I'll leave both pensions as they are and review in 5 years time.

Hi Gordon, I thought it was 70 also but the Aviva Direct person in answer to my question re the "Do Nothing" option, confirmed that I could simply leave the money in the Buy Out Bond but to be aware that "a decision on how you wish to proceed with maturing pension benefits will have to be made...

Will do. I'll check it out Monday

Crikey, I hadn't thought of that.

So I can take the Do Nothing option and then at some future, date before age 75, I can then engage with Aviva Direct and decide what to do? Yes, I'd like to travel around Europe for a while. That's a good way around the guaranteed income issue. Also, I think the balance that's in the ARF is...

Thanks for replying @Marc. The reason I think an annuity doesn't suit me is because after taking the 25% tax free amount I would then only receive an annual payment of just under €4,000 and couldn't change my mind about an annuity once I take that option. I think I'm right in saying that an...

We shouldn't agree to it until we know what the US Congress allows their government to do regarding corporate tax.

Hopefully one of AAM pension gurus will give me some advice on this. I’ll be 65 in a couple of week’s time. I have an Aviva Buy out Bond and I need to decide what to do with it. Here’s the facts: I’m single with no children and own the house I live in. I’m self employed (sole trader) for the...

Yes I also have been asked 3 times to confirm my eligibility. I've just now completed the form (much simpler process than the other 2 times) and have received an immediate email telling me that I have received a notification from mywelfare.ie. I then went into my mywelfare account and saw the...

My vax cert just emailed to me. I got my second jab on 1st July.

14 days for the AZ

Last week there was a day that we vaccinated more than 50,000 people and it was double the UK per capita rate on that day. I think we've been averaging over 50,000 per day since whereas the UK are averaging about 300,000 a day. That's less than half our rate. I assume their rate has slowed down...

Wait until 19th July.

They are worried about self isolating which is more likely now that they are more likely to be infected with Delta Covid now that mask wearing is no longer mandatory from 19th July.

Agreed, chances of death are tiny but what about long term health effects? You ignored this point that I made earlier.
