Quote Property is a better investment for retirement than a pension, according to the Bank of England’s chief economist, Andy Haldane. Haldane owns two homes – one in Surrey and a holiday home on the Kent coast. His basic salary at the Bank is £182,000 and he is in line for a pension of more than £80,000 a year when he retires. “I consider myself moderately financially literate – yet I confess to not being able to make the remotest sense of pensions,” he said https://www.theguardian.com/money/2016/aug/28/property-is-better-bet-than-a-pension-says-bank-of-england-economist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
