Day 22 cont 📻💰💰💰🏡⚠️

This radio interview was in 2002, 23 years ago!

“As the interviewer, you see the switchboard at your radio station lighting up. Lots of your listeners want to talk to the prime minister. You take some callers, and one of them is named Phyllis.”

“Phyllis: I won't be as aggressive as to shake my fist at you, but I'll certainly shake my finger at you when you say that someone who owns their home has no problem, they're sitting on a nice little nest egg.

We're on a #pension and we would like to #sell our home, go into a #unit or a #townhouse or something.

But we can't do that because if we do, we're going to spend the whole amount just on a townhouse or a unit and we'll have nothing left over if we need to do anything to it. So we're stuck.

PM: Look Phyllis, what I said was that not everybody was sitting on a #NestEgg. I said people had not complained about the #value of their house going up.

Cont …

Last night I checked on an old parked #pension #fund, prompted by recent #trumpness.
While up 10.5% from last year, it was down 3% over the last 3 months. From last night to this morning it dropped another 2% in value (as a fund, its valuation clearly lags the actual #stock market.) So tomorrow Im expecting to see it make up anywhere from 2-5% I guess.
Not touching it, not my main #retirement account (not gonna look at that), but this has to be wracking for many. :(

Mr. Orange and his #tariffs have had a huge effect on stock markets and so on my "voluntary #pension #savings". He is a living and walking chaos. I have invested for 20 years and the #loss has been -7 % in one week. They should grow, not go down. 🫣🙄🥺 I've been told that I'm still young and things will change. I don't invest by myself. My bank does that on behalf of me. In #finland we have this kind of service. #annoying #suomimastodon #politics #usa #lifemustgoon

It's not business as usual. We're witnessing extreme (and needless) market turmoil. If you ever feel bad about making a mistake: rest easy, you haven't lost the stock market $5 trillion in a couple of days.

My pension pot is pretty small. Don't want to lose much more, thanks. (No, it's not just US citizens' pensions getting pulverised at the moment.)

The only good thing: I'm not close to retiring, so I can wait for things to settle and improve. Colleagues closer to retirement age will be affected more.

And, yes, some people are profiting from this. It's just not the average citizen, sadly.

Really hope the EU and the UK will get their act together and not give in. Fingers crossed. 🤞

A confidential Revenue paper said a massive loophole in pensions law meant some people could wipe out all of their tax liability by transferring huge sums into a retirement saving fund for spouses and other family members.

The paper said the link between salary and pension had been completely “broken” and the system left open for large scale abuse by the wealthy.

Le père de l'enfant qui a fait le choix de passer par l'ARIPA (agence de recouvrement et d'intermédiation des pensions alimentaires), et qui ne paie pas la #pension alimentaire.
C'est bien entendu à moi de prouver que je ne reçois pas la PA, pas à lui de prouver qu'il l'a bien versée. Si vous cherchiez un moyen d'expliquer la notion de #chargementale ...
La #CAF, faut pas hésiter à réfléchir à cesser de faire porter la charge au parent qui est lésé (souvent une ♀️).

#Schumer doesn't care about #YoungPeople or #OldPeople or any part of #America

Schumer cares only about the geriatric white men of the #DemocraticNationalCommittee and his world-class #HealthCare and his lifetime #Pension and his personal #NetWorth

Schumer is gliding down, hanging from his #GoldenParachute, descending into the #GoldenYears of his retirement

That's all that matters now

The #UnitedStatesofAmerica can go suck eggs for all Chuck cares

#ElonMusk’s lawyers are pushing #Delaware Senate Bill 21—the Billionaires' Bill—a dangerous proposal that would strip away critical protections for #pension funds and everyday investors. If passed, this bill would shield corporate executives from accountability, putting your #401k, pension, and other investments at risk while prioritizing billionaire profits over public interests.
