It wont be long before the next post office scandal hits the news.
Wait till the inheritors discover that Great Aunt Lucy released £7,000 equity on her £1.5million property at 10000% APR, when the inheritors go to collect they will end up owing the equity company money.

Someone who either lived their lives as spongers or at best worked at a mundane job , bottom of the pile with no aspiration will tend to be envious of those who have worked hard and achieved some decent remuneration.

What's wrong with asset-rich but cash-poor pensioners raising funds against the value of their assets (eg, houses, land, valuable items)? Seems a sensible way to go if they prefer to stay put in comfort, rather than down-size or live in poverty...

Apologies, but I have to ask — are you really that dumb, or are you just playing...? Don’t apologise , just answer the question please . For whom should these asset-rich but cash-poor pensioners raise funds against the value of their assets? Are you an insurance salesman or a second hand gold dealer ?

What ''generous'' OAP pension?. How much is the State Pension increasing by this year? ... From 6 April 2023, the State Pension will increase by 10.1%. annual growth in employees' average total earnings (including bonuses) was 7.2% in August to October 2023.12 Dec Pensions increasing at a higher rate then Them working to pay for your Generous pension. The max state pension will be under £900 a month from April ie under £12000 a year and is taxable Those of working age suffering with lazyitis who can't invent a so called disability might be subject to a benefit cap of of over £1500 a month welfare handouts which is not taxed. If they can invent a disability there is no cap and they can get much higher welfare handouts - not taxable I repeat - what generous pension?

So at the end of the day those pensioners who were able to buy their homes many years ago now have to rely on them to fund them a reasonable standard of living, meanwhile those pensioners of the same age who never made it on the property ladder have to live hand-to-mouth to survive, something about that doesn't sound fair, moral or right.

No it never entered my head that you would joking especially seeing 23% of pensioners are Millionaires. You do know that a pensioner who is 67 most likely bought their home when they were early 30s over 37 years ago, I'll give you a example, Freddie Mercury bought a cottage in Kensington in 1985 for £500,000, his ex partner has put it up for sale for £30 million, the only reason most pensioners are classed as millionaires it the value of their property, which makes them asset rich and cash poor. Give you a example you said about a lady having to sell her house for social care. No way would I call her a millionaire would you . As things stand, around 80% of pensioners live in homes they own outright. Not all millionaire obviously

I suspect your wrong what's envious about wanting the working man wanting at least the same increase in there wage has pensioners. Them Spongers has you call them pay towards your wage and very Generous employment pension.
