@1AndyFO @Colin802783958 @WebWelly It’s like the simpleton Leftard party and their ‘we’re going to build 1.5m homes during this parliament’ utter bollocks. The housebuilders will build what they want to, to keep the prices up. That’s what makes profits and keeps shareholders happy. Idiot politicians have no say.

@NoisyStandard @Colin802783958 @WebWelly So the fact that house prices have risen from 2.5 times average income to 9 times, is nothing to do with it?

I'm early Gen X, few years off stage pension yet. If I sell my house to release equity, that's about £100k - or around 8 years income. I'll move into a 1 or 2 bed. Problem with that is I'll now be in first time buyer's housing stock. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.

@1AndyFO @Colin802783958 @WebWelly None of which is the fault of ‘boomers’, but everyone seems want to blame them.

@Colin802783958 @NoisyStandard @WebWelly Dual incomes, low interest rates, reduced building, smaller households, wealth inequality, population increase, construction costs and regulation, mortgage subsidy, miras, help to buy. Etc

Abdullah, an undocumented Tanzanian, lives in a free hotel in Britain but is not happy. He wants his own home, more benefits, and better food because he is used to eating well in Africa.

@Colin802783958 @WebWelly The people clamouring for it are either idiots who won’t work hard enough to try and get what you worked for or are already very well off Lefties who follow the ‘only for me’ mantra. If me & her sell, it’ll be because we want to, not to keep a Leftard happy.

@WebWelly Oh, I have no intention of selling - I was just making the point that those clamouring for pensioners to downsize appear to miss the fact that they'll be taking first time buyer housing if they do - and that's at a premium as it's not being built in great numbers.

@maggiejet @Woldslinx @sophielouisecc They should all be taxable, or all untaxed. Choose.

English

maggie burns@maggiejet·21h

@Woldslinx @sophielouisecc There’s numerous benefits that are taxable, and many that are not. It’s not just the two.

Sophie Corcoran@sophielouisecc·1d

Some families on universal credit are getting the equivalent take home pay of a £71k salary for doing the square root of fuck all Do you really think I’m going to be angry at pensioners getting a pension that’s less than most of Europe - that they have earned No - no im not They aren’t the problem

@thewealthster @sophielouisecc That’s not the win you think it is. 1 - define ‘loaded’. 2 - take the State Pension off people, their income drops. Some drop from the 40% tax bracket, to the 20% bracket. Others just pay less tax too. Nation loses out 3 - pensioners have less to spend. National loses out.

English

The Capital Engineer@thewealthster·1d

@sophielouisecc We need to cut state pensions. Means test them. Most pensioners are loaded either through property or other pensions.

@BenedictSpence ‘money they haven’t earned’? We may as well save all £334bn of the benefits bill! Idiot.

English

Benedict Spence@BenedictSpence·1d

It’s funny seeing pensioners raging about the “politics of envy” when they’re getting upset that money they haven’t earned might go to, say, children instead of them.

@BenRamanauskas Increase the SPA to 70? NHS employees have to go to SPA to get full occ pension, otherwise it’s nearly 4% a year reduction. You want nurses and cleaners to work to 70 now? Will you work to 70?

English

Ben Ramanauskas@BenRamanauskas·22h

Means test the State Pension. Freeze it for three years. Increase the SPA to 70. Abolish the Triple Lock.

You got significant tax relief on your mortgage payment through (MIRAS) in the 80s and 90s on a property which was far cheaper than homes today.

Jen k 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿@Jenny_1884

When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to. We rented our TV Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine. Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents. We went without until we could save enough to pay for something. It’s always been hard whether you are young or old. So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t. Our governments are to blame, not the old.

@shivmalik Dear Shiv, complain to the house builders. Supply is driven by them and their shareholders. If they build too many, they drive down prices, which front benefit their model. Oversupply kills them, under supply keeps them in business. Boomers’ are not the problem.

English

Shiv Malik@shivmalik·1d

Dear boomers, can you afford to buy the house you live in currently with the wage you used to earn before you retired? If you can’t, then that’s the whole housing problem in a nutshell. It really is that simple to understand.

@linmeitalks If we abolished the State Pension tomorrow, explain how it benefits you directly? The Govt isn’t going to stop taking NI off you, and help you. They’ll just waste the money and you’ll be no better off. The outcome of this argument won’t improve your life.

English

Lin Mei@linmeitalks·1d

Can I ask why, if a pensioner has worked all their life, they only have the state pension to rely on? Didn’t decide to save ? Put away for a rainy day ? Sounds like poor planning to me. And yes if your children have flown the nest and you, or you and your spouse are knocking around in a 3 or 4 bedroom house you bought decades ago- SELL it. You’ll have more than enough to live on.

@isnit0 Not retired just yet, but I will have paid more than I take out…….unless I live to 120.

English

Joe Reeve - 🇬🇧/acc@isnit0·2d

For the retired people in the comments claiming "I paid more than my fair share". Actually, most of you didn't. You're being subsidised by me, my peers, and the children we won't be able to have.

Joe Reeve - 🇬🇧/acc@isnit0

PSA: Pensioner Spending is the single largest line item here - *£160bn*. More than half of all benefit spending. More than NHS England, or all NHS Providers. Want to pay less tax? Reduce the benefits we give to people who’ve had an entire life to prepare and save.
