Well yes, you are right. It just annoys me, that's all. All those old folk acting like they somehow worked harder or were smarter than the young ones, hogging the housing stock and their unbelievably irritating sense of self-entitlement. Acting like some sort of superior class, just because so many of them have large houses of the sort that these day only an investment banker could afford (despite themselves typically having been blue collar workers or worked in low-end office jobs). It makes me really, really angry - to the point that it's a distraction for me. You're right, I just need to calm down over it and not get so wound up. If I had my way, I'd take their pension funds and use it to pay off the country's national debt. After all, it's their decades of excess that created the debt in the first place. I'd also crank up the upper bands of council tax for the oldies to the point that it frees up the housing stock again whilst enabling them to nonetheless find somewhere to live that's more suited to their income (which is typically very low despite having huge expensive houses).

Sometimes life's chips fall in your favour, sometimes they don't. Just don't let any of them stick to your shoulder, else you'll only see the ones that didn't . (And in case you are wondering: no, on the issue you are talking about, they most certainly did not fall in my favour!).
