"hard earned housing wealth..."
Just seen a snippet of a speech by Gordon Brown in which he appeared to bemoan the fact the people were going to have to spend a large proportion of their "hard earned housing wealth..." in providing for their own care in later years.
Now to my mind there are a couple of issues to that.
Firstly how is sitting on your hands, doing nothing other than pay your normal mortgage payments "hard earned" the only reason for "housing wealth" is that people are stupid enough to pay vastly inflated prices for a pile of bricks and mortar.
Secondly what is wrong with using your own wealth to provide for your own care?
The box said, "Requires Windows XP or better"...
... so I installed Ubuntu!
