The risks of cashing in your pension early
If you are under 55 and want access to short-term cash, it may be tempting to cash in your pension. Be aware that unlocking this money will lead to a tax bill of 55%, as well as the potential of penalties by your pension provider. It is advised to seek alternative solutions. Find out more about the risks here.
For those who are unable to collect state pensions from the Post Office due to illness, you can appoint a permanent agent to pick it up for you. Call the Post Office to arrange this. Ensure that you trust this person!

Do not Separate yourself from your brother unless you have exhausted every approach in trying to put things right with him… Do not be harsh out of suspicion, and do not separate from him without first having tried to reason with him….

ITREB Thought of the Day: #MotivationMonday
Every one of us has been bestowed with special gifts that are unique to us. Using our talents to the best of our ability and in the service of others is a way of showing appreciation for the characteristics that Allah has blessed us with. Not all of us are able to put these gifts to use in our day to day work, but there are other avenues in which we can. Voluntary service is one way, having a hobby or part-time venture is another. If you're not yet sure what your gift or passion is, ask yourself what comes more easily to you than to others? What do your friends and family compliment you on? What would you still do, even if you didn't get paid for it? There are clues there. Find what has been put into your heart and then put it to good use.
