@Toltec

Already penalized for saving.

My partners father was ill, carers who came in to help his wife each day had to be paid for due to their savings being above freebie threshold

My mother is ill & needs carers to help out daily, they have to pay for those visits, as they have savings of high enough level.

Neither set are what you would call wealthy (all working class, factory worker jobs), just happened to be when even "everyday worker" type of jobs had decent pensions & people could afford to get on housing ladder, & have lived frugally in retirement (NOT taking lots of holidays abroad, NOT buying lots of gadgets etc.)...

As an aside, no way our offspring, in similar low pay jobs, could get on housing ladder these days (not until we or die & they get inheritance anyway)

AC for obvious personal data reasons
