Surely having a high income is a high achievement?

no
it's the reward for working hard. the job and what you give back are the achievements.

Not always.

presumably
you will be giving your house and any money to society rather than to your kids?

we all know your "achievement" already. you're leaving behind giant round black coasters to protect future generations of coffee tables.

Indirectly through taxation, yes.
I'm pretty proud of my "achievement" and am glad there will be something left after I am dead.

no, that's avoiding the question
are you leaving your house and any saved money to your kids? you seem to be against other people saving and passing it down, so presumably you'd never do it yourself.

I'm not sure where you got that idea from

It's the people who would save it that are part of the problem.

Oh right, you misunderstood me.
As Bonzo or someone pointed out in the same subthread, spending the £71 would provide more of a stimulation for the economy than squirrelling it away.
I am not against saving, in fact I think it is a sensible thing to do.

stop being sensible
you want everyone to give their houses up in some kind of giant yurt fest, admit it.

yes
they work so hard and nobody loves them for it, it's a crying shame...

I feel more sorry for those who work so hard and don't get the same remuneration.
However thick and annoying they are.

i don't
some people should get a lot more than they do. nurses and teachers definitely should. but the general public? thick and annoying. and you should know. you live in cov where they invented it.

What about the support staff that enable nurses and teachers to do their jobs?
A lot of them are quite thick and annoying.

Hey how about everyone getting a lump sum from the government every week to top up their wages
It wouldn't have to be much just say £71 or something
