You chose a custom title
I commuted my small Graduated and SERPS pension funds (taking the max lump sum and a smaller annual pension payment instead.) I rejected a pension increasing in payment as the reduced pension that would have arisen from age 65 would have taken until I was 92 years old to break even compared with the larger sum received now.
My father died aged 68, and his father died of TB when only 34, though my mother was almost 84 and her mother was 86 when they died. My maternal grandfather was 77, and my paternal grandmother made it to 92.
I decided that the odds were stacked against me profiting from payments increasing in retirement!
