I earn less than Dave but get longer holidays. I could raise my income to somewhere around his level if I took one extra hour daily or taught for one month of my two-month summer holiday.
Of course in Saudi and the other GCCcountries you have to make your own provision for retirement. I keep up my payments to UK National insurance so I will get some basic pension when 65. I believe that is not an option for our cousins from the USA.
The State Retirement Pension would be below poverty level if I were foolish enough to return to the UK of GB and NI. If you have entitlement to the State Retirement pesnion you can have it paid anywhere - but there are problems with some countries where you will not have the annual uprating. |
