Yes of course you can. You can spend it all on Drugs and Whores, then go cap in hand to the government to support you for the rest of your life.

If you can get it one day as a lump sum without paying taxes, then pensions are suddenly attractive option for saving long-term. I've always thought pensions are for losers..Originally posted by Churchill View PostOh FFS.

Because I've always thought all pensions are annuities. Thus you may save 20 years but then you can't be certain how long you are going to live , thus you might have saved more than you will be able to enjoy.Originally posted by expat View PostYou don't know squat about them but you "think" they're for losers?
