This is odd and tells us something about what an excess of money does to people’s sense of security in old age.
I am not sure there comes something called security. Infact I see “wealth” as something that makes the “wealthy” insecure. Most of the tears over tax-free-cash, inheritance-tax and tax/Ni relief are problems of wealth.
I don’t know Craig Coben but we have a few friends in common and if you put Fulham season holder as how you want to be known, you must have a decent side. We used to get in to Fulham for £1 , my son and me – playing in the park down from the ground. But I digress.
I do know the number his flight partner had in mind as “security” and I would be surprised having that much in the bank would have made him secure.
The trouble with having the money in your pot is that it isn’t a wage (an AgeWage) and even if it runs into tens of millions of pounds, it’s not security.
That number never quite turns up!
