Of course those children you object to subsidising might say in the
future "why should we pay for that old ****ers pensions ....."


Paying for my own pension, thanks, not relying on the state to provide
anything for me.


With all due respect, the idea that any of us "pays our way" is a fiction.


If none of us pay our way, who's paying for everything?


No one. *That's what this whole 'debt' thing you may have heard about
is.


I think you'll find that some of us most definitely *are* paying our way.
According to the IFS's calculator, our household pays some £27K per annum
more than we get out.


Do you have a link to that? Googling "IFS calculator" seems to lead to
a diffrent calculator, telling you where you fit into the UK income
range.
