Hey BD, do you get a government funded pension in Britain?
We have to pay into a Social Security fund to get a retirement
check every month. We also can setup a fund for this purpose by
paying into it on our own.
How is retirement setup in Britain?

I don't normally monitor this group, Dave Eagle! You are lucky to
catch me!

Yes, I *DO* get a pension from the UK government - well actually,
TWO pensions! One as an ordinary citizen and another as a
'veteran' (ex-Royal Navy)

Did you pay into these pensions out of your pocket?

Yes!

Please see he- https://www.gov.uk/national-insurance/overview

Would this be an example of socialism, Dave?

No, not really. It's just an extension of extra Income Tax but under
another name.

Thanks Dave. The British system is very different than what this country
has going. {which is close to bankruptsy and has been for many years now.]
I have two independant pensions plus My SS income. I setup a 401K and a
union pension trust income plus what My Wife's SS income adds to the
kitty. That Chevy C10 pro mod took a few bucks, but it was fun building
it.

YW :-) I know you enjoy your flirtation with automobiles! When we
first 'met' on Usenet we discussed you possibly importing an old Rover -
remember that?!!
