When I was a lad the oldies would retire, spend a year or two in front of the fire prior to doing the decent thing and turning their toes up to make room for the next generation.
It is not like that now.
11% of the UK population are pensioners and the numbers are set to increase. Pensions aren’t much, so a bit of simple arithmetic will show that this means that technically GDP will have fallen. But then again, so what ?
The cottontops have paid off their mortgages, the kids are off their hands and they have all the time in the world to sniff around for the bargains that the rest of the population is too busy working to pick up.
So we may be broke, but we are a lot better off than before.
Thoughts ?

My kids are still small and I'm already thinking of their future. We bought a single wide trailer and a small piece of land that I'll give to my oldest to do as she wants, live rent and mortgage free or sell.
She'll be 18 in 6 years, whoa. Life flies by.

We helped my daughter with her mortgage and school fees and such, and the rural ruin is in my son's name, so neither will be without a roof over their heads.
You are right about how quickly time passes. The youngest granddaughter is 16. When the hell did that happen ?
