Older people actually make a net contribution to the economy of about
£58bn per year.

From what?

Their income stream, pensions investments etc.

I pay tax from my pension and none of that pension comes from the state so
I am a net contributor ATM.

He said net contributor the to ECONOMY, not to the STATE.

There are others that are not net contributors like all the public
service/state pensioners where the pensions are paid out of taxes.

See above.

They all spend money to make the economy go though.

Yeah, that is what I said.

Older people like me spend more on trades as we just don't want to hand
dig drives and stuff like that any more.

But its less clear how much of that stuff the older people
do anymore regardless of how they get it done.
