I never understand the attitude of pensioners who insist on living in
poverty in a million pound house, (and then complain about it!)

My house is far larger than I now need - but it is my investment to pay
for decent care if I ever need it. Selling it and buying somewhere
smaller then investing the balance doesn't seem like a good idea in
these times.
I'm sure you've done the sums but I would expect you so save on bills,
council tax etc in a smaller house.

Council tax here is low. The costs of moving house high. And I don't want
to move anyway. ;-)

Plus the dreaded stamp duty.
