Or just worked hard and not spent extravagantly.

There are two kinds of people, those that say must of and those that say must have

Having large amounts of spare money and not being entirely Christian?

Sounds a bit like the Church of England to me.

Brilliant! :rotfl:

It sounds like the Roman Catholic Church too …….

Brings to mind one of my favourite geek jokes, namely that there are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary and those who don't....

Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

I have:)

I haven't 'done dodgy dealings' or 'ripped someone off'
I am not 'entirely Christian' or Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jewish, etc.
Does that make me a bad person? Hint, that's a rhetorical question.

Obviously I'm not geeky enough to understand that one:o

I don’t believe more than 3% of the population have more than £85k in savings, this is England in 2018 where we are all broke and on the breadline

Here is a link to some data for you direct from the ONS
https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/compendium/wealthingreatbritainwave4/2012to2014/chapter5financialwealthwealthingreatbritain2012to2014
See in particular table 5.15 half way down - net financial wealth which excludes property wealth.
I'm not sure if this figure includes pensions and investment bond type of 'savings' in the totals. note that it is done by households total not by individuals.
Anyway:
13% of the population households has more than £100,000 in savings and investments.
A further 9% of the population households has between £50K and £100K.

Another interesting related figure not in the data but available elsewhere and much listed on the web is that 27% of all UK income tax receipts is paid by the top 1% of earners in the UK.
This all rather suggests that the top earners are over contributing to UK tax receipts rather than 'getting away with it'. Should of course these 1% decide to leave the UK that will leave the rest of us with a rather large hole to fill by increasing our tax rates considerably.
