Are You Worried About Your Pension? | Loose Women

[@carolfuller2941]

Get real here ladies, I’m in the age group of the Waspi women, and am now 70, the pension benefits are well below the living wage, it’s really hard to manage…..save for your pension as early as you can afford to.

[@emmab8911]

How are people that do a manual job supposed to work until late 60s it’s disgusting

[@Mel87y]

Exactly

[@lovelifesmile]

I am now 60 and work full time house cleaning. It's been the last 2 years I have noticed my energy levels crash. Don't think I can go for 7 more years

[@shirleyburke1571]

Totally agree

[@skyraider1656]

I’m 78 years old now, but retired at 64 1/2. When I was 28 my father told me to save for my old age. I joined our company profit sharing plan putting a small 7 percent a paycheck in it. 38 years later when I retired I had plenty to live on with my pension, VA compensation, and returns on my profit sharing savings. The only thing I didn’t count on was losing my spouse and not having her with me in my retirement years.

[@chris021able]

You can't tell me that the majority of the woman on that panel couldn't afford to retire now. Even if it means selling up and moving to a cheaper area / downsizing.

[@memecakes4436]

I don’t think they can, they are only early sixties if they live up to 80 that will be 20 years of no income, probably except state pension when they hit 67 or 69 by that time. That’s not affordable to them or to the life style they want. I don’t think they are in the verge of being homeless but they might not afford to retire either.

[@nicolastemp8173]

I bet they can.... freelancers.... Nadia pays for nothing... all ads

[@yazminmomo]

they must have a retirement pension with ITV though

[@juliepickles3394]

Of course they can they all have other jobs Nadia will have all the royalties coming in from the programs she as been in they all have other tv jobs or Radio jobs Itv must be paying them a fortune they get transport to take them to work and home which is probably paid by itv they get there clothes provided

[@nicolastemp8173]

Nadia makes money on KZbin and has ads for everything. Gym, holidays, food... etc plus being self employed and lower tax

[@GoldNava]

Judy looks so good in red!

[@sgd.6830]

I agree she looks stunning 🩷

[@Mayaxxxxxx]

Nadia’s parents purchased properties for their children so she’s never had to really worry about paying a mortgage etc.

[@rebeccalittle2589]

I think she actually bought the house with the good salary she earned on Eastenders

[@elainecoley-evans6393]

No one discussed the pension!

[@KW-ro5ow]

Life expectancy is something that should be considered when the government wants to increase retirement age.

[@audreymcleod4076]

How dare the government tell you what you can give to your children each year as a gift!!

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

You can give as much as you like …it’s a big misunderstanding that we can only give 3k ….but anything more MIGHT be liable for tax should you die within seven years…(on a sliding scale..).. this is relevant for those family’s facing large inheritance tax bills

[@maloneaqua]

Anything an individual doesn’t earn themselves is fair to tax

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

They dont tell you what you can give , you can give what you like …but when you die…with in seven years of the cash gift ..tax MAY be liable …it’s on a sliding scale .but for most of us it’s not. Up to £3000 is except anything over that MAY be liable.

[@joanne26]

In 2011 GOVUk created a law that if you were employed then a minimum 5% was taken at source and put into a pension scheme and employer put in 5% Currently you have to work full time for minimum 35 years to get full stamp This may change A lot if people I know have bought property in the buy to let it bought holiday homes etc as their pension but in the budget a few weeks ago you will be taxed more

[@naomicoward4687]

Love this group today

[@pamelaiverson5527]

This has been law in Australia for years and there was talk at one point to raise pension age to 70!

[@BoninBrighton]

I’ve had a recent surprise despite having 42 years of NI contributions I only had 4 years since the new rules came in 2016 therefore I’m one year short of the 35 required! So here’s the Maths…. Pre 2016 I had 39 NI years BUT only 30 were required so 9 were discarded 😢 After 2016 I only added 4 years so I’ve got 34/35 required! It’s madness. I retired on an occupational pension 2019. HMRC can’t decide if I need to buy a year of Class 2 NI (£150) or Class 3 NI (£850)….

[@margaretdoyle2670]

Judi looks lovely 😍

[@TheNickimouse]

Dangerous misinformation from Nadia Sawalha, who is not married to a "solid, safe person". She's bank rolling a man who has been unemployed for the past two decades. It's like poor Linda Bellingham all over again. 😥

[@gaynorross9783]

I’m sure her husband is a film director

[@jacquelinehillson9589]

Ye he is a director , they are both wealthy in their own right and have a media company together also.

[@TheNickimouse]

@@jacquelinehillson9589 Mark Adderley isn't wealthy. He hasn't directed anything for over 15 years, ditto their media company . Nadia pays the bills.

[@flowerpink724]

Whats your problem with mark ? Without him she wouldnt have a youtube channel. Hes actually brilliant. Get a life ​@TheNickimouse

[@kazzlerazzle]

@@TheNickimouse actually one of his short films The Gangbuster was short listed for an Oscar nomination in 2022!!!

[@gerrya3610]

If you have been able to save for your retirement then spend it on good quality residential care. Don't rely upon the State as their contribution won't find you a level of comfort that you may have been used to.

[@jacquelinearcher1158]

Is she really doing to waitress in her 70s ? On min wage ..really ?

[@flowerpink724]

What is going on with Kay. She looks amazing ?

[@joanneadams6243]

Her lips look fuller

[@David-j9h9g]

of course they r not the wages they r on....

[@JustMe-nj6dp]

All these woman have enough for their pensions so spare the concern

[@lgbtpoetlaureatetrudyhowso163]

PENSION PLEA We are the women born in the 50’s, Who will not falter in our fight. The government postponed our pension. This isn’t fair. It isn’t right. We contributed to this Nation, Our workforce made this county great. We don’t deserve to be singled out Told our pensions have to wait. We enriched the UK’s economy, As teachers, nurses, mother and wife. Now a random birth date lottery Gives us an impoverished life. We did as the government bade us, Made sacrifices and paid our due. Now is the time to repay that debt, We did our bit. Now its up to you. Trudy Howson LGBT Poet Laureate

Oh lord! Definitely don't want to take financial advice from this lot! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@RD-ox3ce]

What Mugs actually voted Labour ?

[@audreymcleod4076]

Sort your hair out Judi

[@sgd.6830]

I think she looks great 💚

[@flowerpink724]

Her hair is gorgeous. What is wrong with you? Seriously ? That's what you decide to make a comment on ? How sad is your life ? I'd recommend you take a break and analyse your own appearance. Maybe make a video so we can all make our own opinions on it

[@rebeccalittle2589]

How uncalled for

[@maloneaqua]

always at least one sad little person
