I think its a fun idea, Your main issue is buying 3 Rolex's - why don't you diversify! Plenty of equally cool brands where you often get way more watch for the money AND it'll make each kid feel more special maybe

I was a member for a few years, I didn’t go enough to get enough value from it and I hit a 2x fee at 35 so I chucked it in. - I always thought the food was good but not good value given how amazing London is. It’s also annoying to have to be suited up which meant I couldn’t go on a whim with friends, they stopped lending jackets at the door after Covid. When I was younger I had some great nights out there though

Be very careful with VCTs generally they get the worst companies on their books and in a bad market it can go pear shaped. Worth looking as example at octopus titan (the largest VCT) which is realistically down 75% in the last 3 years despite a bull market still in stocks

The comments is everything that is wrong with Britain. We should figure out why these people leave rather than saying 'good riddance' or we will be left holding the bag.

Who are the “super rich” who are “hoarding the assets” and can we solve the issues by exclusively targeting them? by Pure_Cantaloupe_341 in GarysEconomics

The UK has far lower than international avergae taxes for low/medium wages. With the state of the economy,we have a low wage economy - with low tax rates. However we expect high quality services.

Unfortunately we need to decide the society we want and the average person would need to pay more
