In a discussion about pension avc's for a 20 year old teacher mula suggested that " income protection should be her first priorty". Ive moved the discussion here. What do people in the Insurance forum think of the assertion?...........aj
hi munster man
imho your daughter is far to young to be taking out an avc. income protection should be her first priorty and the rep should have had this at the top of their recommmendations. protecting your daughters lively hood is far more important then avcs atm
in relation to retirement
your daughter has the option to retire from 55 onwards on a reduced pension the details of which are available at www.cspensions.gov.ie
i suggest you have a good read of this especially the FAQ section. they also have a pension modeller system which allows you to see the effects of early retirement on your daughters superannuation benefits.
with the increase in the amount you are allowed to put away for retirement (up to 40% depending on age) your daughter should be in no rush to fund for her retirement at this stage
My daughter started work as a temporary primary teacher Sept.05.
A consultant from Cornmarket is in the process of signing her up for an AVC policy, but I have advised her to wait a few years before taking out this policy as she is very young (still only twenty). If she continues teaching she will have her full 40 years service at age sixty.
I need advice on this matter as she seems to have her mind set on signing up with Cornmarket. She is on a salary of €34,250 and was told she would enhance her lump sum by signing up now and would also receive tax relief at 42%.
I would appreciate any help on this matter.
Thanks Munsterman.
