I'm glad your doing well LIG, but I suggest you have a look at your monthly bills, all your spending per month, over the years. Mine have been clearly going up. Everything is much more expensive, and the official numbers are hogwash. I'm doing OK, just, my wages have gone down substantially over the last decade, so I feel price increases keenly. Luckily I bought my property over a decade ago. Property taxes are almost like a rent, but I'm glad I don't rent. Even starter level houses have very high property taxes here. Medical bills in the UK are just fine, and I don't have to worry too much about travel costs. rgds
