l can assure you they are not well off as they have to budget everything just like our household does.

whether someone is 49 , 68 . 80 or whatever age they are its only a age at the end of the day and it does not make a iota of difference at the end of the day.
I am sure you are right, Den, and the majority of people are certainly not well off in old age.

However, to see some of the posts on here you would think that pensioners were slimy, child eating monsters cashing in at the expense of the younger generation. I think these ageists need to look at how much the old age pension actually is and wonder whether they could live on that.
