In Topic: You Think Thailand Is Bad? Try The Uk Pensions Lot!

2012-02-23 21:32:31

Ha, so whats your opinion that l did all that's necessary but lost most cos my wife wanted to tour the world with another guy and took most of my financial and home building in the settlement.

Some here are blind to individual cases. fuc_k, l get angry with some snotty nosed do gooders.



Ah??

We are the same in some way then??
2004 my wife wanted rid of me, so took an overseas posting to Indonesia while she went to the lawyers.

2007, lawyers drew up the papers, she kept a 4 bed house 48 miles from London heathrow.  All the money in the bank, shares and the 3 cars.
I had two suitcases, zero money in the bank but kept my Merchant navy officers pension.

Worked all the extra days possible, done freelancing and by 2010 had got back on my feet.
August 2011 started building my retiement home (No GF, land etc protected).

Reason why I did this??
My ex thought she had crippled and broke me, little did she realise that with no more access to a joint bank account she was depleting her bank balance as I were building mine.  When she became assest rich but cash poor, I were now cash rich mak mak.  It made my day to see the look on her face when after telling her tales of woe and needed money, my reply was "No" the look was was priceless.

Took me 5 years to get everything back, why don't you do the same

Brits between the ages of 50 and 70 (that's the old gits whinging about pensions) have been raised in a welfare state, left school at a time of full employment, had free higher education if they had payed enough attention in school to pass selection, alternatively had access to apprenticeships, lived through decades of increasing personal wealth, rising house prices, had access to jobs with defined benefit pensions...basically this demographic group have had oportunity and wealth handed them on a plate.
If you're a Brit coming up to retirement and the only pension daving you have is the state pension then you must have ducked, ignored or squandered the multitude of oportunities handed to you over decades.

Now you want us to listen to "it's 'snot fair"

I am 56, 57 this year, product of a single parent family from a large council estate nearby Glasgow.  
Father died when mother had just turned 38.  She was too young to recieve a widows pension so had to work like hell.  Full-time job during the day, part-time at night and a job on a Saturday.

Were the youngest, had an elder brother and sister, we have all done well by ourselves.  Not by having a welfare state to support us, rather by seeing that you had to take care of yourself and not rely on others.  Joining the Merchant navy at 22yr then going offshore 40yrs has allowed me to plan my retirement outwith any government handout.  Only 18 months left and its tend the fields, fish and fruit.

In Topic: Protecting Your Investment

Thanks to all of you who have posted replies/comments.  It has opened up many possible scenarios and conversations.

Up Barmet Narong looking at the preparations and have pointed out to my mate (Might be wrong on this)  
If his wife, her mother and daughter were all to pass away in an accident??  Her two brothers would inherit everything.  That had his wife jumping up and down so she wants to go down the same route as me to protect him?

Funny old world??  

Thanks again to all for advise, being here 7+years now seen many guys loose the shirts on their backs.  
But there seems to be some decent/non-mercenary Thai females.

I've personally lost friends to that drug, it's evil and should be stopped!

Ditto. Agree.

I would go further.  They were doing this for personal gain.  
In their head they had already spent their wages, without a pico second thought to the carnage their cargo would bring to individuals, their families and the wider society that has to cope with addicts.

I suffered with my youngest son on drugs, sadly he is no longer in this world so have zero tolerance tolerance now.  
It is never "A bit of fun", "its harmless".  It is a dirty, soul destroying activity to families.

They are not worth a passing thought
