Just that really!! Inspired by thinking if I could afford to move abroad. I suppose age helps as well as you’d expect to be worth more the older you are!!

including Pensions probably £500k jointly. 53 and 58. Not awful. Not pretty either

EmeraldDreams73 · 18/01/2025 21:04

I'm 51. House is all I have, no savings, next to no pension. Equity is I think about £400k.

@BeAzureAnt I agree, there's definitely something different about the likes of Musk and Bezos that means they have zero interest in using their wealth for any common good, altruistic purpose. Must be due to a miserable alienated childhood with no interpersonal connections I guess? And yes they clearly see us all as worker ants in their megalomaniac world domination plan - sorry intergalactic world domination plan. This is what happens when kids don't make friends!!

@Userxyd Yes. It is what worries me. Musk is definitely going to be in a powerful political position in the USA.

Number and percentage of households with gross income greater than £100,000 in London and UK, financial year ending 2020 - Office for National Statistics

About 8% of UK (16% in Lon) households have combined income of over £100k. It's not a very small minority. You might be leaving in a low income social cycle to have this perception. Those who bought properties 20 years ago and/or inherited (again, not a small minority) would be well over 1m in their 50s or earlier.

I DONT accept IOUs

£2m liquid, £4.5 m property and land

£2m liquid, £4.5 m property and land

For the property and land - it is ONLY worth that IF somebody WANTS to purchase IT as is

There are MANY reasons WHY somebody would NOT purchase it - being haunted IS a VERY good reason why NOT purchase it

> can`t prove that it IS haunted
likewise can NOT prove that it is NOT haunted either

at sale time - LOTS of ghouls & ghosts MAY appear - just sayin

Well that's a STRANGE post. What's with the shouty CAPITALS. It's just a random forum question - there's no obligation to justify the values stated - WTAF do ghosts have to do with anything

Ghosts ARE a selling feature - comes with a FREE ghost and an idiot neighbour - or is that JUST my house?

@Blondiebeachbabe (OP) - Wouldn't it make more sense for people in couples to quote 50% of their amount? Just for this exercise. Otherwise you'll get some amounts relating to one person and others to two. So even before all the variables (age, some including pension, some not etc), you're not comparing on the same basis.

Good thinking!

Ilikeadrink14 · 21/02/2025 14:07

I honestly think this was the most boring and the most pointless post ever! I tried to join in, but couldn’t work up any enthusiasm for it.

fussychica · 21/02/2025 16:30

Retired to live abroad at 46 so not as much as we might have had if we'd carried on working for another 20 years but much happier.

The 1.7 million is between DH and I which changes what I wrote enormously, both later 50’s.
