Can be elegant looking birds eh?

The more you leave in the pot the more monthly return you’ll get. Take out the maximum and you’ll get less each month. It is a gamble and you’ll need to look at the terms, conditions and forecast when approaching your retirement. They will let you know a forecast of either taking min or max...
