The family's wealth has been deteriorating slowly over the last 60 years or so, and that what shapes your outlook. <br /><br />There a millions of baby-boomers from poor backgrounds that are much better off than their parents, or grand parents. That is thanks high quality state education and, on the whole, a meritocracy in the workplace. <br /><br />There is (still) significant redistribution of wealth built in to UK life. Moderately wealthy people have to run quite fast to hold their station. That's a good thing.<br /><br />The worry is that today's kids' opportunities are being short-changed to fund the pensions of blue-rinse voters. The biggest UK policy disaster of the last century is surely the funding model for state pensions. Private pensions are a mere side-show. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169740113013066976.post-36626124137737624652013-11-03T13:06:02.659+00:002013-11-03T13:06:02.659+00:00Meanwhile, Google's algorithms tell it that th...Meanwhile, Google's algorithms tell it that the most appropriate ad to show next to this post is for a workshop on 'making money from property'....juliandobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09950217029171103273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169740113013066976.post-82486995193208341112013-11-03T12:24:44.754+00:002013-11-03T12:24:44.754+00:00If only they could have held on to it a little lon...If only they could have held on to it a little longer...:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12332737523637727157noreply@blogger.com
