Old people have it made!

And wages have risen even more, or don't you take that into account?

 

Young people today could easily save plenty if they didn't pay out for all those luxuries they don't need.

Do you have any statistics on that as I would like to know just how many families are living rough.

 

When I say IN REAL TERMS.....everything else....INCLUDING WAGE RISES is taken into acc ount.

Seeing as we are where we are what will YOU do about it? Or are you just a moaner? :)

 

I am not moaning. Making factual statements is not moaning. You are very probably an old codger who has benefitted greatly from massive house price rises and had a final salary pension and so are feeling "never had it so good".

All this despite you not having a professional career, nor doing a skilled job as it is very obvious from your posts that you was just a brickies labourer or something similar.:D

Don't take it so seriously - students are back - it's probably just info gathering for the next assignment - why help with the 'research'?

 

Doesn't bother me Blokey as Defoe said I'm a made man...just off to polish me pension and get the butler to clean the Rolls :D

Without brickies labourers you wouldn't have any houses.

Hod carriers worked very hard to earn their money, no job security and when they got too old to do the job had to get anything they could.

Think before slagging others off.

I never criticised anyone. I am merely RIGHTLY pointing out that it was much easier for old people to get by in their day than it is for young people now. That is why youngsters have no hope and why drug abuse and crime is rising.
When "old' people were young,most did not have ,central heating! double glazing ! cars! telephones! TVs! fridges! washing machines!foreign travel! computers! supermarkets!.............and endless other luxuries that people take for granted today.Lots were displaced by two world wars! lots worked till they were 65 and retired with nothing but a cheap gold watch!...................but anyway,do carry on talking out of your backside trying your best to wind us all up!
