It doesn’t make me angy. It makes me frustratingly amused.
I’m a working class boy. My mum was a seamstress (remembers V1’s as a child) and then a housewife. My father served in the Royal Navy then becoming a lorry drive.
I left school in 84 and worked solidly up to 2009. Work has been a bit scratchy but I’m still working.
My parents told me to work hard and save. At 46 I have paid off my (modest) mortgage. I still have (some) savings and I’m still working.
What frustrates me is the government and banks have been `advising` me. Yet my original endowment was worthless and since 2009 my salary and savings have been eroded.
If there is one thing I have learnt it is that the only person who knows how to effectively manage my finances is me!
I don’t know what I will do when I retire. But if I want to blow it (hell, maybe blow it and live off the state) that’s my business.
That’s if I ever get to retire. My father died at 68.
What’s more important is that THEY ARE DOING A NEW VERSION OF ELITE!
