Debate House Prices
In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non MoneySaving matters are no longer permitted. This includes wider debates about general house prices, the economy and politics. As a result, we have taken the decision to keep this board permanently closed, but it remains viewable for users who may find some useful information in it. Thank you for your understanding.

And I see no reason why my money should be taken to pay for your care that you are perfectly capable of paying for yourself.
Contentious maybe, as I understand that many people genuinely cant save anything and will never be able to due to their circumstances, but you have no objection to having to pay for someone who perhaps spent their money on 'booze, birds and fast cars and squandered the rest' perhaps knowing that the government will pick up the tab.Dont wait for your boat to come in 'Swim out and meet the bloody thing'

Even if you can afford to choose - and you pick the nicest you can find .... you're woken within the first 24 hours by a phone call saying "They're kicking off .... hate it here .... want you to come and take them away again". Great start to my day today
Hoping I don't get the same desperate phone call tomorrow.0
