The reality is the 50 to 70 year olds are in the money, and are still mobile.
Probably the richest ever, in numbers, due to inheritance, equity in property, generous pensions, etc. Even equity in rare soul music and classic scooters!
Of course some are poor, but those who are not are having a ball, or will be again when life gets back to something like normal.
(In turn, many of the next generation will also inherit a pile.)
Thats why this wealthy middle aged group are being targeted by hmrc....as they say, you cannot get money from those who have got none.
