Need Money Quick? Have You Tried Claiming The Pension Of A Dead Relative?
WITH AN INCREASING number of Irish workers confirming they have little savings and no financial plan in place for retirement, you may be eying up ways to make some extra money on the side.
Our money expert Richard Cash has this advice for you:
If the cost of living is so straining it has led an unnamed ex-TD to the point they’ve allegedly claimed their dead parents’ pensions then you know the situation is really bad.
Immoral, illegal and plain stupid, claiming your dead relative’s pension can only get you in trouble. But before it gets you in trouble, it gets enough of a bump to cover bills and pay for the dentist, doctor, petrol, school uniform for kids so I’m going to level with you; you don’t have any other choice.
If you’re lucky enough to have a recently deceased relative their pension is the sort of passive income we all dream of.
Sure, there is an initial investment in the form a realistic disguise but employing a local MUA to help you look like your old uncle Tommy is the circular economy at work, you’re doing your bit for Ireland’s economy.
Going down the route of bringing the cadaver into the post office with you would also require enough seed capital to afford mountains of perfume to disguise the smell but think of the long term gains. This is an investment.
The real selling point of choosing the dead relative’s pension as your financial plan is that if you’re caught you could be entitled to free accommodation and food in prison.
