    Hi Eagle,

    I couldn't agree more with your comment about 'the crazy unfair system that penalises thrift, those that scrimped and saved to buy their home and pay their mortgages' etc etc.

    You are right - its nuts. The current system rewards people that go and blow their savings on consumables (eg new kitchens, holidays etc) so that they get below certain thresholds to be entitled to the pension (and other government benefits like cheap public transport).

    Cheers,
