Yup, I got spanked by the Equitable Life, but luckily it wasn't a big pot at the time and I hardly had anything invested into the With Profits fund.

To not join a FS pension over 20 years it just mental; I wonder how many times a day he'll regret that decision throughout retirement .

I have loads of stories like that unfortunately .
