Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?I do believe Governments haven't helped by saying the pension is a benefit. When we all know it's not. I also think by constantly saying how much care cost's , has also done a great deal of harm. Youngsters look at the elderly forgetting that they were also young once, worked, had children, paid bills and contributed. All they see are old people who are in the way. We were all brought up to respect our elders, and we did, no question that was how it was. My husband will shortly be 80 and luckily is in reasonable health other than being rather creaky, as I often point out it could be worse. I still have another 4 yrs before I can retire. I work in care, which is hard hard work, I work nights and I also run my own grooming business, s0 I feel I have more than done my fare share.ViewDate:

Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?Can't ever remembering getting any help from anyone, nor did we expect any. We didn't have posh cars, exotic holidays or everything brand new. We lived on what we could afford which often wasn't much by the time all the bills were paid. Most of us have been working from 15, and have contributed to the system all our lives, and on small wages. Women were paid a lot less than men. It would seem to me that the Government would be more than happy for us all to pop our clogs once we finally retire (providing they don't move it again). It would seem to be more and more that the elderly are deemed as a burden to society, not wanted and in the way. Not appreciated for their many many years of hard work and contribution to society.ViewDate:
