Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?It makes me very angry when pensioners are considered “wealthy “ and young people so hard done by. I started working (p/t) when I was 15 and have worked hard all my life, saved and gone without many things in order to raise my family and have something to leave them ! We started married life in a furnished bedsit sharing a bathroom and toilet with 3 other families. We skimped and scraped to save a deposit for our first house. Perhaps if young people today were not insistent on having everything at once and being able to go out eating and socialising several times a week, they too could save. House prices and wages / cost of living are relative to our day !ViewDate:

Should the State Pension be means tested?I have worked hard all my life and paid full contributions from my NI and never claimed anything before. State pension is not a "benefit" it is something which those of us who have been employed have already paid for !
