"We've given up. An increasingly authoritarian government, a broken political system, an economy that even if we do remain has been seriously damaged... and on a more personal level where swingers clubs are closed down on trumped up 'planning' laws... Having run four companies and invested millions into the UK, we've decided to cash in our chips and retire to Spain and France. Anyone else?" Bloody hell!! You took your time. I figured that one out 15 years ago. ![]() | |||

"The NHS is a residence-based healthcare system. If you move abroad permanently you're not entitled to any care and will be billed ." NI is a government sanctioned Ponzi scheme, since the contributions aren't even invested. The NHS is paid out of current tax receipts. Whichbis probably why they try to wriggle out of paying. | |||

"I guess having contributed taxes during my whole working life I would not have any moral issue with expecting care on the NHS if I need it. Out of interest, the government already penalises expats by reducing their pension, unlike private pension providers." The pension isnt reduced if you retire to EU countries and the government has promised that will remain the same post Brexit (however we finally Brexit). The down side is that the State pension is worth the square root of damn all anyway! | |||

"Little Britain alive and well on some of these replies. I feel sorry for the younger generation who are seeing their chances of living abroad sold down the river by selfish blinkered people, many of them embittered pensioners who don't give a toss as long as they have their Brexit" Totally agree with that point of view! Theres a lot of selfish middle aged and older fuckers who slag off the younger generation while creaming off the pension funds and thinking their self righteous intolerance is justified because they have made this country what it is - which frankly is a bit shit thanks to the last ten years of austerity. | |||

Austerity ? It is just a figurement of people's imagination. Just look at how well travelled todays younger generation are compared to the older generation. In addition the young will eventually inherit their parents wealth Everything you have in life has to be paid for . | |||

Just think, people like this might be your carers in the future, in your care home in whatever country you decide to live in. Then the shoe is on the other foot. And considering how bad care is getting, you’ll probably be sitting in your incontinence pad for a few hours, wondering why its too hot and your thirsty and nobody has come around. What comes around goes around as they say. | |||

My card covers full home care and supplier businesses are everywhere. If one doesn't give you the service you need then you can change to another with just a phone call (try that on the NHS) What comes around goes around? Why should anything come or go around? What terrible sins have our generation inflicted to deserve such nastiness? Most of us have lived within the rules of our time, we've worked hours that would make the average millennial seek therapy, and yes, we've given you the world of today. Maybe not a perfect one (no-one is infallible) but a damn site better one that we grew up in, and a million miles from what my parents and grandparents had to endure. So rip that "victim" badge from your breast and just think for a moment. In the immortal words of Harold McMillan. "You've never had it so good" | |||

I did some back breaking work when I was younger though I guess some people will snear at someone working so hard. Accumulating assets means that you are in s better position to help the less well off . The difference is that you decide who you help, not have it forced upon you by a third party. Maybe fab should open a donation line so that those members who think that the younger generation have it hard can make donations. I guess there would be no takers.People are always very generous with other people's money but do not want to pay themselves . | |||

"I've jumped off the (sinking) good ship Britannia and swam to France. Right or wrong I made my decision and for what it's worth, my opinion. a) UK government are useless and not fit for purpose. b) UK is a tiny country with far far too many people in. c) the care for the elderly is shocking and wouldn't want to get old there thank you very much. d) the care (NHS) for anyone is getting worse actually, so once again nffp. e) I have no family there any more, so why would I stay? (All emigrated 15 years ago, Oz, NZ and France). For what it's worth the eastern euopeans did steal my work. (I worked as a farmer and then a builder when I got really poor). Nope, see you later UK! I really really won't miss you and 90% of the self important, jumped up, lazy snowflake give the vote to a Jeremy Kyle watching, lazy, self important thickos with no sense of community, public spirit or decent honest work ethics. I'm going to become French. Fuck it. It can't be any worse than British!" Good luck buddy !.

" We all know there won't be a state pension all the oldies will have bled it dry because they piss on the ungrateful youth. ![]() ![]() Is that enough tho? The time spent in retirement is still long (compared to when state pensions were first introduced). And the triple lock makes them more expensive (so arguably the later pension age just offsets a cost) combine this with an increasing ratio of retirees to workers and it becomes even more unaffordable. | |||
