It will be little surprise to you that the combination of #costoflivingcrisis, #houseprices remaining high & the need for parents to help their children through these crisis has led to a 28% rise in #equityrelease plan(s) purchased year-on-year 2021-22 (FCA data obtained by FT).

Sitting on a #mortgage free asset has led the over-60s to 'release' equity to support themselves of their children... for the #financialservices firms offering the service its just one more way to profit from our pain!

@ChrisMayLA6 @GhostOnTheHalfShell The fact that this term exists speaks to the complete depravity of the banking industry.

I'll hold those bags of gold for you.

@ChrisMayLA6 the aim is for everyone to die stripped of any wealth they have amassed befor they die? Helping children,health care (it's a thing now), care home fees ets

Not everyone...... its all part of a transfer to ensure the rich(est) stay that way, as rentiers earning off our 'solutions' to the problems they are causing us
