i dont know if it's the same thing but 2 months ago i called my pension people and said figure out numbers as of date of marriage and 'today'. and i got them within 2 days.
I forget what the numbers were all called but i distinctly remember something like this
date of marriage..
109.00 26,000
today 970 226,000
the 26 and 226K were the present values and i guess the other numbers were monthly payments. But i dont know if the PV assumes i work my full 35 year or not or is the actual as of today. i guess thats why actuary needs paid. Because if i quit 'today' i wont wanna be on the hook for any full amount.
Also we talked about pension a bit yesterday, i pulled out the letter from the place. I already knew she has to follow 'my rules' (she doesnt get any money until i retire) but then i read further into the thing and she does NOT get to choose a beneficiary. This is good news for me but she said 'i bet you are happy now' when i told her this. I said no i wish i could get out money and pay you a lump so this was all over but i cannot change the LAW!
So she thought she would reach retirement age before me and get this money but i told her no she wont get a dime until i retire and also she cannot choose beneficiary. Obviously it was a bad day yesterday.
house wasnt discussed at all, i figure better not bring that up. Oh wait, she did say she knows she has to pay 400 for an appraisal. I told her why not just come up with a number you want and save yourself the money?
