    I am the one in ten

    I am the one in ten
    A number on a list
    I am the one in ten
    Even though I don`t exist
    Nobody Knows me
    Even though I`m always there
    A statistic, a reminder
    Of a world that doesn`t care


    One in ten of us are heading for a million (but can't spend it) | Mail Online

    One in ten people is worth an average of £815,900, research revealed yesterday.

    If their fortune continues to increase, they will be millionaires within a few years.

    The report highlights the extraordinary riches of an exclusive group of Britons who, if they add up all their assets, may be far richer than they realise.


    This time next year Rodders!

      I did. It's all losing money in the bank or dropping 3% per day on the stock market.

      This time next year I will be a £5 aire at this rate.

        UK houses are also crashing against USD, gold, Mars Bars, etc.

          Let's hear it for inflation. Yowza!
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              No, anyone who isn't a millionaire didn't make the most of the asset boom of the last 20 years.

              However, when we hit rock bottom again in the near future, the opportunity to become wealthy will present itself again.

                wasn't aged 30 or over.

                  What does that actually mean? Not one in ten people is worth £815,900 or above, that would be a different statement entirely. I'd guess it means if you take the wealthiest 10% and average them out, you get £815,900. Probably most of those 10% are worth about £300,000 and there's a super-rich 0.1% worth many millions pulling the average up. Very cunning massaging of the figures there.

                    It's the Daily Mail FFS.

                    They also have an article about Ronan Keating playing golf at the weekend with his children.
