Better have a stall for G-Mulligan too.

Mine both at Uni at moment, and with us being part of the squeezed middle, they only qualify for the minimum loan and we get no help for anything from government - so they are costing us a small fortune at the moment. Our assumption is that that small fortune will continue to flow their way for quite some time after they graduate. Might as well make that assumption since it is most likely that's what we'll have to do.
Would be nice to think that once they graduate more money would become available to invest for retirement - but it ain't going to happen.

Aye well - you should have thought of that when you were having fun
Clearly lack of advance planning - you should have moved to Scotland

Half price housing
Decent health care system
Get your passport and pension in order and get up here quickly, while you still can.

As long as the English taxpayer keeps subsidising it. Better hope Alex doesn't win.

Great thread this interesting to hear how everyone approaches this... The one thing I have got from the outlaws who have been retired for 15 years plus and in fact the wife mentioned it is that what ever you spend or repay a year now to maintain a standard of living now is probably what you want to have available at least when you retire....why would you spend less??? Minus of course and hopefully the debts such as mortgages etc. So in essence if your expenditure now is £50k a year which includes a 10k mortgage... you're going to need at least £40k a year to maintain it plus a bit for additional golf visits etc
I cant possibly imagine living on £15k when I retire unfortunately so I best get on with it pdq!Doon frae Troon

Mickie you are so correct!
Up here we are so subsidised by the English - whinging Jocks etc - I wonder why the NO camp is so well backed up by Cameron and Co when they have the opportunity to ditch us?
Just let us get on with our big mistake because as we all know ... Scots are unable to think for themselves and need the English Oxbridge chaps to show us how it is done.
Poor things up here, we will have the begging bowl out to the world in the first month on our own.

The Welsh are desperate to keep us in the UK as well. I wonder why that is if we are such a drain on the UK finances?

In the case of the Welsh it is to distract us from the fact that they are also favoured by the Barnet formula and would rather that the English don't notice.

The Welsh are desperate? Where did you get that information?
