To the women who are on this app, be honest
Are you OKAY with a man claiming to be a woman using the ladies room if you're in there?
🤷🤔

@MrTigre18 Whether it’s a man or a woman you’d at least say sorry
English
@linmeitalks We are on an over 45’s site, no children allowed in an old park home, having already helped our kids, I suspect majority of people have done likewise
English
Wow some of these boomers are so selfish and rude it’s disgusting. I thought they were the generation of manners and respect.
Yes, unless you regularly look after your grandchildren I do expect you to sell a large house which you no longer need as it will:
1. Help your own children/grandchildren get on the ladder
2. Free up a house for a family who could really use it as we have a shortage of large house due flat builds
3. Free up all that equity for you to live on and enjoy.
As boomers get older many will mostly use downstairs as stair usage gets harder anyway.

@linmeitalks Are you for real you expect pensioners to sell the home they have lived in all their lives brought up their children in you are truly a despicable entitled brat
English
@linmeitalks We have downsized 3 times to help kids, we now need to save for care home fees as kids can’t afford to help us
English
There are boomers sitting in large houses who don’t even want to free up equity or sell their house to help their own children get on the ladder.
This is the level of selfishness we are dealing with.
Thank god for parents like my mother
She would sell her house in Tottenham tomorrow if it meant helping me…. And I would do anything to make her life comfortable- that’s what family is about. An eco system of giving.
These days many boomers don’t want to help with grandchildren or finacial assistance and children don’t want to help their parents - so much selfishness between recent generations and it will get worse.

@ReemAmirIbrahim What about if you live in a Park home worth less than 150k? 🤔😏
English
Why should young people have to pay for someone else’s retirement?
If you live in a million pound house, and you can’t afford to retire, sell the house. Or don’t. I don’t care. You just can’t expect young people to pay for you!
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire
English
@EssKayFlex @canadiancarol1 I don’t generalise young people as I have 3 children each different, each have their own strengths and weaknesses 😊 we’ve helped them at different times, they all work
English
@TriggSheena @canadiancarol1 I meant it more as a general "you", in the same way older people call ALL young people lazy and ALL young people entitled. The view is that the boomer gen ruined any opportunity we had before we were even born, so if you're part of that generation there'll be some resentment.
English
The anger against pensioners on here is enlightening .... envy, jealousy and greed with no perception as to who will pay for their old age - because it is all about the NOW and entitlement.
English
@redrumlisa We have helped our 2 sons after their divorces and our daughter when she needed us. We had to rebuild after our divorces too, we are strong, been together for 35 years, you can’t explain this to some.
English
@TriggSheena Younger people in real life dont think this - the vile views on this platform are being shared by weird millenials sat in the parents back bedroom
English
Having watched this platform pour out some of the most vicious bile about 1 group of people. I've seen terrible racism on this platform but nothing like the vicious misinformation about older people. This is both those who think they are left & right they arent they are all just neo-liberals in varying degrees screaming for the neo-liberalism that did this to us. I fear for us all when Hitler youth both Green & Blue get the reins
English
@EssKayFlex @canadiancarol1 Plus I haven’t had the vote for 50 years 🤣
English
@TriggSheena @canadiancarol1 And who voted for them for the last 50 years? You did.
English
@EssKayFlex @canadiancarol1 Actually I haven’t voted in a government, the people I voted for didn’t get in so I tried 🤷♀️
English
@EssKayFlex @canadiancarol1 They are all the same, no matter who you voted for, they all let the country down, that’s my point
English
@TriggSheena @canadiancarol1 And who voted the politicians that ruined our country for the last 50 years? Your generation.
English
@BenedictSpence @StewartD58588 We’ve downsized 3 times, helped kids, no inheritance from parents, their money went on care home fees, won’t be able to leave any money our children or grandchildren, hubby over 70 still working, paying tax, I work. Go on push assisted dying and maybe I won’t get pension 😏
English
@StewartD58588 You work, you buy a house, you have a family, and then you sell it and downsize when you don’t need it an once its value has gone up to realise the returns on your investment. What’s controversial about that?
English
What makes a pensioner more deserving of protection from market forces than, say, a young family?
Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc
No. I don’t think pensioners should have to sell their houses to retire
English
@DraperOr @Grim60696847085 Same could be said about children in poverty
English
The richest generation in history (and that there will ever be) is telling us how poor they are again.
Sandy Tregent@SandyofSuffolk
Younger generation to pensioners: "Why didn't you save more into a private pension?" Because most women stayed at home to look after your mums and dads and so didn't earn anything, let alone save anything. And your granddads were struggling to pay the 14% mortgage rates. And any 'pin' money your nans earned from little part time jobs was spent spoiling you on days out at the seaside, birthdays and Christmas and slipping your mum and dad a few quid on the sly when they were a bit hard up. Just so you know.
English
@AliBrow99043217 @Stan2415loveu That’s ok if all bills only increase inline with inflation but unfortunately that’s not the case 🤔
English
@Stan2415loveu No one is suggesting pensions wouldn’t increase.
But the current triple lock method is very flawed and needs replaced.
A simple inflation link is sensible.
English
The increase in the state pension just about covers all the bills going u p in April--so when you are on a basic pension with no private pension you need the triple lock..if its stopped completely =then slowly more and more will enter into complete poverty..but that is ok right?
English
English
@TriggSheena @redartisan04 @HeatherBo63 I do blame politicians, but like you said, NI wasn’t invested, it was always used to pay pensions of the currently retired. The system doesn’t work, so it needs changed. It’s not pensioners fault they’ve been screwed over too, but unfortunately it has to change.
English
off of here for a few days.
Idiotic conversations about pensions.
What? Shall we all just vanish to make it easier on the selfish assholes who feel the earth revolves around them?
I wonder if there are similar disrespectful conversations going on in other countries where a state pension is provided.
Probably not.
It’s only this country where people have zero respect for anyone.
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim How do the current pensioners live if you scrap state pension? You must have a plan or perhaps you want compulsory assisted dying??
English
Government pensions are a scam.
Younger workers are paying more and more to fund a system that is mathematically impossible to sustain.
Would you scrap the triple lock?
English
@silentrob73 @ReemAmirIbrahim On this basis there should also be no Universal Credit, the same arguments could be used
English
@ReemAmirIbrahim We're all squabbling over this, which is what politicians love, but nobody is going after them for creating this massive Ponzi scheme. I don't believe there should be a state pension. Why is it the job of government to provide a universal retirement fund?
English
@PLUMBHERO @HemleyJenn79783 @StephanProwell @HeatherBo63 It just feels like a pile on , like everyone wants pensioners to ……. Maybe that’s why politicians want the assisted dying bill ☹️
English
@TriggSheena @HemleyJenn79783 @StephanProwell @HeatherBo63 I do blame politicians for the many failures in this country. I also blame politicians for their failure in courage to reform the triple lock. It’s not affordable and needs reforming, that’s not blaming pensioners it’s being realistic about what needs to happen.
