Please outline your plans in detail so we can avoid all this.

This government like the one before hold us in such contempt, that we have been responsible enough to have savings and yet punish us for this in such a way. Future generations just wont bother and i cant blame them one bit. BE A SAVER AND GET KICKED IN THE TEETH! BE DEBT RIDDEN AND GET SOCIETYS HANDOUTS. Save our savers have done nothing to date and they wont get off the starting line with this government. All this government is interested in is houses, just like the majority of the country. Inflation report this week and it will still be above 3%. What do the MPC even do? They get paid to fail 100% of the time and get 150k a year for it. Disgraceful.

I may be being niave but I think that the last government's intentions were honest if misguided at times. Frankly, it could be much worse for UK savers - I for one am thankful that I'm not a Japanese saver!

To go out, get a job, save and invest for yourself and dont worry about what happens with benefits as you wont need them.

I wouldnt say that.

However, joking aside, anyone getting 0.5% interest is just being lazy.

The average is what 2.4 kids and most people get a mortgage in their life.

Personally, i love these low interest rates. It allows me to build my investments. Plenty of others on this board and those in real life are doing the same as well. The very thing you say shouldnt be done.

The low interest rates have come at the wrong time for me, the mortgage is paid off and the children are independent so I am building my retirement funds. I could feel bitter that single parents get tax credits which I didnt get when mine were young but I don't because my tough times taught me to get out there and build a secure future for myself, work hard and save for my plans.

I am not too concerned because I am still saving capital and my investments are rising overall plus I get tax relief on my pension contributions so it's not all bad. I am going to be better off in retirement (at 55) than someone who has not saved at all just as I am better off than I would be on benefits right now.

Oh, stop your silly ranting. If you can't even be bothered responding when people reply to your points, why are you even here?

I've been struggling to believe that Gray_colt is really an old person. No one over the age of 30 has such bad spelling.
