One mustn’t forget that we (those born between, say, 1940 and 1970) are the most fortunate generation: the NHS has looked after us well during our lifetime increasing the average lifetime by years; index linked final salary pension schemes for many; huge property inflation which enabled us to trade up and make more money than we were able to earn or save; no major world wars and no conscription; lived through the birth of roll n roll, the Beatles, the E- Type Jaguar plus many other classic sports cars which are now hugely sought after, just to mention a few.
And we are now able to enjoy the rewards!
Feel free to add to the list!
