Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Anyone else noticed how much the value of pensions & private investments have plummeted?

I can't remember the last time I've seen one but guessing there were plenty of caterpillars in the spring as there were plenty of Blue Tits etc around feeding their chics.

Yes, it's kind of my job.

Most people are probably down >12% YTD. Never nice to see investments fall in value but it's the first "correction" we've seen for a while and mostly expected given the current economic environment. Lots of commentators speculating that this time it's "different" but that's what they always say.

There hasn't been a time that markets have fallen and not come back (yet). Give it time, things will recover. It's only a loss if you crystallise it now, otherwise stop checking the value for the next 6 to 12 months and you'll save yourself a lot of anguish.

And if you've got money to invest now, well, the stockmarket is on sale - get it whilst it's cheap!

Cheers for the advice. I have my investments with Quilter and have seen big % drops recently so will have to hang in there

If you're invested through Quilter I guess you have an adviser?

Don’t know where to put this. Turned down a job which is £10k more money purely down to the pension. Going from 20% to 3% is hell of a drop long term.

Not ideal but couldn't you have started another private pension with the extra income if the job was ok?

I assume he means company contribution, what the wage gives with one hand it takes away with the other.

Probably not what you want to hear, but you'll struggle to find an employer in the private sector paying more than 3% into a pension. 5% tops maybe.

I definitely understand the maths behind your decision, but you've got to factor in the job satisfaction and your own happiness as well.
