    Early next year I'll be able to choose the 54 & 11 month option to defer my CSS benefit. At this point in time I'm considering a full rather than minimum pension, ie. indexed + non-indexed pension. Is there anyone else in these forums in a similar situation or who can offer their views please?

    Yeah ok, but you still haven't explained what you're talking about regarding pensions.

    Jorge,

    I opted for a indexed pension + lump sum. The non indexed component is just that, and inflation will eat it away. With the non indexed you will get no lump sum. You should get financial advice and may I suggest Daryl Dixon (google it)

    Maybe sometime in the not too distant future we'll see markets recover to some level of normalcy.
