Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] The forgotten half
The North East Group died out a few years ago, I still read this list and
fire up QPC now and then.
I retired from work two weeks ago so I hope to rekindle my interest - so
far I have not had time ( I'm still a few weeks off full recovery from
mitral valve replacement)
If Roy reads this then I should explain that due to my retirement and not
having full knowledge of what value my pensions will be ( thankyou
bankers ) I did not renew my subscription to QLWorld, but hopefully when
the dust settles funds will allow me to resubscribe.
Thanks for the message. I know the problem of pensions as I had all that
last year. I hate to make all you UK wrinklies jealous but half my income
now comes from the Netherlands.
My 62% UK state pension is £60.73 p.w. plus a single heating allowance of
£250 each year.
My 40% Dutch state pension is (at the latest exchange rate) £72.32 p.w. plus
an extra single payment of £300 "holiday money" each May.
If you have the time or an opinion, I'd like a little help. I suspect there
are many Quanta members in your situation although in your case there is an
additional problem that you live in a distant part of the country. How could
Quanta best serve members like you?
Best Wishes,
Geoff
