I've worked out how much I need to save on the assumption that they won't.<br /><br />I'm 55 and work in IT so the chances of getting another job in the same sector are pretty slim plus I'm hoping to retire at 60 anyway. I just need to get the figures right.cerridwenhttp://keepingthecauldron.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336434292024806907.post-54233202740234304352014-10-21T18:53:26.143+01:002014-10-21T18:53:26.143+01:00As someone who has been made redundant twice in as...As someone who has been made redundant twice in as many years, you can't trust anything that is said about job safety any more. I can feel for you with the uncertainty that is involved and the stress it generates. <br /><br />Glad you are looking at the alternatives and have contingencies to work with. Getting a pay rise will help, the extra money will be good to add to the savings whatever the outcome on the job front.<br /> <br />Have you used the GOV site to work out your redundancy payment? This will give you a guide to the minimum you would qualify for. Good luck and fingers crossed that you are not included in the 22. Keep up the researching and saving, you will get there and be happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336434292024806907.post-80284040313452993362014-10-17T00:33:16.886+01:002014-10-17T00:33:16.886+01:00Thanks weenie.

It sounds like you've got a plan though, doable even though it will take some effort, ie ramping up your SIPP investments. <br /><br />Good news on the pay rise - a little more extra going towards your investments!<br /><br />Anyway, fingers crossed you don't get included in the cut. weeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602950445306813601noreply@blogger.com
