    Letting it out when you're not there to cover some of the costs?

      Holiday home.

      Then you'll still have somewhere to live when our state pensions become a means-tested benefit in a few years.

        Pension. Holiday homes are a notoriously bad investment.

          Even if Sir Merv fails to devalue your pention with Zimbabwe style money printing then it will be taxed or meant tested so that you get bugger all.

          So home all the way - make sure the walls are thick enough to stop high caliber bullet: think Mad Max IV only in the UK.

            Never ever trust anyone with your money. Did you not read Pinocchio?

              You've changed your tune. We have spent years trying to convince you of the benefits of bricks and mortar whilst you happily paid your landlord's mortgage for him instead.
              Mind you, maybe it is not surprising when you consider that you took months to sort out the purchase of a couch!!

                Wise words.

                Bury some gold under the kitchen floor too. So if the money goes t*ts up you will still have an ejector seat.

                  WHS

                  Only split gold into parts - some very small and some very big just in case you get tortured to show where they are you can lead them first to the small one, even if they kill you after you show them where you'll die in knowledge to fecked them up good!
