It's official, I'm old.
 

I'm 65 today, so say Happy Birthday, and now officially a pensioner and on benefits.

Received a letter yesterday from the Czech Benefits Office, and I'm getting the princely sum of 4,000 CZK a month, that's $170. How anyone lives on that is beyond me.

On the plus side, 6 years a cancer survivor and not doing too bad.

Happy birthday to you

It's even worse here. I will be paying $300/month into a mandatory retirement fund for the next 37 years, and then will get $120/month for the next 5 i might live after that :thumbsup

Happy Birthday Paul. :)

Happy B-day, Paul!

Happy birthday you ol' fuck

Happy anniversary of the day your head touched your mums hoo-hah! :)

Happy Bday Paul !

You don't look a day over 99 :)

Happy birthday Paul!

We just had a few days in Poland. Lots of great looking girls.

As for pensions, I put a lot into private ones over the years. Been enjoying the rewards for the last 6 years. The new top up from the UK pensions will be nice.

But your scheme seems ass up.

Yeah it's fucked, but what can you do...
Happy birthday anyways, enjoy the 2 bottles of scotch you might be able to buy with your pension :1orglaugh

Where in PL did you go?

Happy Bday n retirement

I'm still beautiful. LOL

Just been going through the photos from our trip to Poland and North Moravia. Eva took loads of pics of everything but me, and the ones of me are out of focus. :(

Happy Birthday Paul:thumbsup

Enjoy your day!

God bless you Mr.Paul :D

Congratulations on lasting this long ...

Be thankful you don't need to survive with only your Czech pension money :2 cents:
Cat food and bananas ...

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday ...

Feliz cumpleaños viejo de mierda.

<<<Paul>>> Haps Births, Man

Happy birthday Paul. Glad to hear you are doing well.

Lucky old man

Happy birthday

Wait they let you back in here? Good, this place lacked personality lately. Congrats on beating the C so far (Touch wood!) and happy birthday

Happy Birthday Paul.

In my eyes you just got about 10 years younger :winkwink:

It would be impossible. Been on a fixed income for 4 years now, and always a bit of a miser, so the UK-CZ pensions will be a nice little boost.

I've been chatting to a lot of my old mates in the UK, some don't have a pot to piss in thinking the gravy train would never stop. And some wiser folks, put money aside and doing OK in retirement.

I advise all making a bit of dosh, invest in long term sound investments.

Have the years been kind?
