This isn't just for people who are 21 now - that's for people born after 1970 - so 55 now. I can't imagine being fit enough to do my job at 71.

We’re still none the wiser as to which four year period saw a 400% increase in house prices then?

Personally I think WaryCrow needs therapy. Of course us baby boomers deliberately made the house prices soar, just for the hell of it. Each one of us, as individual hard working people, decided collectively to raise house prices just to stuff the generations to come…..absolutely nothing to do with the financial institutions manipulating the system. Then of course we all awarded ourselves up to 15% mortgage interest rates which many struggled with repayments, plunged into negative equity some losing their houses and didn’t we all just laugh on the way to the bank.
