That’s the whole point of being rich, isn’t it? I mean, nobody gets rich to become poorer. Many rich people started off poor and it wasn’t luck that made them rich.

Or he is a centrist with an open mind.
Doesn't look or sound like a lefty, let alone a commie to me.
But again, don't let facts bother you
The problem is that the pursuit of wealth often has it's downsides...
People may become better off monetarily wise, but the journey often makes them poorer in their nature and outlook on life...
When is enough actually enough?
Sure it's no crime wanting to be comfortable financially, but to take the p*ss and grab money from others when it's not needed is a very sad approach!
Yeah, when is enough actually enough?
Say, this was 4 years ago.
Now who was it that said that? "I've got approximately £950k in pension pots/investments/currencies, and still rising...
And there's plenty of life left in the can" .
Now why am I not surprised that this would be your responseYeah, when is enough actually enough?

The difference between you and me is that money was made honestly and have no reason to boast about scamming the taxpayer!
And before I'm gone, most of my pot will be distributed where it's most needed...
I ain't taking it with me...
And the same goes for my partner who has contributed equally over the years and is of the same thinking...
But then we care, but you as you have stated several times you don't because it's just about you...
Very sad!
Because it’s true?
Oh, you know when you’re going then, do you?
Was this the partner you told us about that was on a decent chunk of taxpayers money when they got into the country as a mature student or was that another one I was thinking about?
I can certainly keep up with your previous bulls hit posts. Say, you never did explain why you are still posting on a forum that you said you were "done with" and had made your last post back in 2019. You ready to share yet?

Had a long walk yesterday, which took in a couple of cemeteries. Cemeteries are an occasional interest of mine, I can spend hours reading the gravestones. Locally speaking, most gravestones are from the 1800s onwards: ones from the 1700s are rare, and as for the 1600s I only know of a couple. One finds foreign names on gravestones, but this is rare also, and therefore I am amused at claims about immigrants building Britain and wonder where are these immigrant builders buried? I can think of three possibilities: 1. They are in unmarked graves 2. They went back to their own countries to die or 3. Immigrants did not build Britain.
