Silver Savers or Over 50s MoneySaving

Errata

The board was re-named Over 50's Money Saving some time ago

The name needs to be the one that welcomes everyone over 50 not just those who don't mind the reference to being called a silver saver. I for one intentionally avoid this thread because I object to being categorised and called a silver saver. Over 50's or Fab Over 50's is a lot more welcoming I think. Otherwise I will definitely avoid this thread altogether as silver saver sets the wrong tone for the thread and I'm sure others are avoiding this thread as well because of the name.

That sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

:rotfl:OK, I'm going to trot out the old "I've had Brain Surgery" line to excuse myself and slink back into my corner ... although following the shiny new half shoulder op DH says I should say "I'm not all here, bits of me are missing ..."

although why this got dug up again I'm not quite sure!

I hope not otherwise we'll all owe a fortune in underpaid tax and overpaid pension:rotfl:

You've missed out a bit, "70 is the new retirement age after a 50 year working life"
