‘I am not a money hoarding boomer – my grandchildren do not want anything’

According to pensioner Gilda Smith, instead of being hoarded, instead of promoting the money from boomers to the next generation.

She and her husband David are the owners of their Irshire’s house and have been there for the last four decades – a dream that is out of reach for about half of young people today.

latest Government figures Show the middle domestic money baby is five times higher for the boomer generation, which is now in the 60s and 70s, the age group of the young millennies.

Economic imbalance has caused some Stress The MPs demanded to address a report warning against Ageism earlier this week, including the stereotype of “Wealth-Hording Boomers”.

However, Gilda says that her children and grandchildren “do not want anything” and enjoy gadgets and holidays abroad, on the contrary, with their own upbringing, while spending time and money on a conservative cruise, He will be “the worst bad dream”.

Gran-of-Fore reported that one of the first essays written by him was ‘like poverty, poverty like beauty, in the eyes of the viewer’ and says “it’s perfectly right”.

“It’s all about the perspective,” he said. “Some people can see my husband and I am closing very well because we have found a car.

“We are comfortable – we can pay bills and we can help our son if necessary – but we are not very well and we both live on our pension.”

She is not very big pension, she says, especially when her husband David was “almost forced into early retirement” from her civil engineering role at the age of 51.

Gilda says David was a victim of age and was targeted with a group of colleagues over 50 years of age as the company wanted small and cheap workers “at the cost of experience”.

The couple has worked “very, very hard” and saved their current home to bear their current, she says, “Nowadays some young people who want too much, very soon”.

Guilda and David moved to a small flat when they married in 1974 and her daughter Linda was born a few years later, followed by her son Graeme.

The pair went on their first holiday after seven years, followed by a second holiday in 1996, when they bought a second -hand caravan to travel around Scotland.

This is the opposite of his childhood of Gilda, where any school holidays were spent working on the family dairy farm, and “we brought ourselves, really”.

She can no longer imagine the completion of boomers stereotypes of going on several holiday cruises every year, which had a population of over -60s more than half the cruise.

“Going to a cruise would be my worst dream, no thanks,” he said.

“I went to the Isle of Man on a catamaran and I was a twice a Sesec.”

She also found “My Arm on My Arm” on Catamaran, which became the first sign of a heart attack, so she is “not a fan of boats”.

Gilda is also not a fan of how hard her children are to stay financially, and being a self-employed garage owner with her son Graeme, “We have to help him from time to time. “.

He said: “My son is such a kind soul and people take advantage.

“I hate thinking how much money I have given him – it will be in thousands – to pay bills.”

Her daughter Linda works as a mathematics teacher “so financially she is very surprising” but Glanda says she still worries about her safety and her health.

“I worry about her safety – the second day she was trying to divide two girls going to each other with a chair – and she is working very hard to the teachers who were with me. , Because now there are very few teachers, “he said.

“If someone calls in a sick, there is no cover and other teachers just have to take more children to their classrooms.”

Guilda is a firm belief that the relationship is more than money, and lost her mother as a teenager and with a difficult relationship with her father, she attracts time and attention to her grandson.

“My grandchildren do not want anything with their own phones and loads of gadgets and Lego,” she said. “They don’t know what it is not.”
