agree, tickles the ell out of me why plenty of rich retired get free swim, free bus etc. Family member just wont spend his money uses all the 'free' services he can when he can pay its not an issue and seeing that he spends thousands on holidays makes the whole thing ridiculous. Got too many retired at 55/60 making out they grafted so hard (I doubt it) going to be retired longer than they ever worked on £3k a month living in 5 bedroom housing. See it all the time as we do groundworks for extensions on these houses because they are bored and want a sun lounge/sewing room. Blocking the housing system and have a cheek then to moan about the heating bills and want all the freebies. I find it amazing the wealth of these retired and the brand new cars, 5 bed houses and expect to have the income for another 40 years. Not sustainable. I dread to think the income of many retired if both had final salary pensions could be in excess of £6k per month,
I plan to be wealthier in retirement than in work.
