Greetings to you all.

First and foremost......

Write a list of all the bills + mortgage/rent......

You can decide to go on wage percentage terms or simply pick and choose........

One person no dey pay bills for the UK, person go just die (whilst the other person is just buying bags and sending unallocated fund's to families abroad)......😂🤪🤣
This is exactly the point sir ....thank you so much for your input, I appreciate

This will vary form home to home.
Partner A can take rent/mortgage while partner B takes other bills and other sundry expenses.

You can open a joint account, divide your total outgoings into two or whatever proportion you decide based on your incomes, and each party transfers their share into the account from where you now pay your bills.

One party might be solely responsible for all the outgoings while the income of the other partner goes into savings and investments for the family.

Different strokes for different folks.
Thank you so much for your detailed input...i love your example ..

I was telling my junior colleagues at work that it's shameful that I can not get free or even subsidized viewing of Premier league in the very country where it is domicile.

They all concurred and said they heard its almost next to nothing, the price for cable TV to watch games.


Well I didn't tell them I stream all live matches on my laptop, I simply use HDMI cord and watch on my Tv. No be me my village people go send back because these people and gossip na bread and butter grin grin.


The UK is a stingy, unfair and hypocritical system.

Some days I wake up and literally want to run to Australia or Canada. Strength to write exams never dey, the day morale falls on me, I dust my clinical texts.

I think the issue bothers more on ethics and integrity. The agents were just playing poker with people's lives and funds without some considerations on the implication of their actions.

Rightfully so, the current market is tilted against buyers but the standards and integrity must be upheld.

Na make God just help person.

If I may ask, what year were you in the market for the offer?

kode12:


There's nothing to take here for the ordinary man. When it's a buyer's market, you can make small shakara, but when it's a seller's market there's nothing you can do, you'd be outbid and gazumped even at the 11th hour. If not the ex-staff that leaked the information, the buyer wouldn't have known what went on internally.
During our home purchase, the estate agent came back after our offer was accepted that the seller had gotten a ~8% increase at that time, houses were being snapped up even before they were advertised, we went back and forth a couple of times but didn't want to deal with going back to the market, so we accepted it and went ahead.
I still don't know if there was ever another offer being considered or the estate agent just wanted to fleece us, but after the purchase, we found out the estate agent was the seller's sister so......

Honestly, I'll say stay and max out your contribution which gets matched by your employer. It's free-money without taxation.

If you opt out, what alternative scheme are you looking to go into? Will the ROI march the counterpart funding from your employer post-taxation? Only a little schemes can match up.

While the contributions may look rather minute at the outset and year-on-year, it's gets bigger in years to come. Drops of water makes an ocean - if the drop no stop.

I yield the mic for the honourables. grin




AgentXxx:
Good day Elders; My questions is about the Work pension scheme, i have been thinking about opting out due to the ROI of the pension but when I think about that it’s tax free plus my employer contributes, I want to stay. As at now am very confuse. Elders should help me and others who might be in my shoe light torch so we the children can see clearly. Agba yi a dale oo smiley

Depends on the type of visa you are on and your ultimate goal wrt settlement. If your current visa leads to settlement (ILR) in the 3-5 year route, no need for COS, if does in the 10 year route, you might consider depending on the no of years you have left to hit the 10 year mark.
