How can sensible savers protect themselves from the welfare system?
Watch this thread
I saw some good savers in another thread but are they aware that savings for a deposit on a house or further education are at risk if they were to become unemployed.
They will be expected to pay for everything from those savings.
It doesn't seem right that people being responsible should be denied the opportunity to own a house because of bad luck while the feckless may have spent all their money on expensive holidays and other frivolities then have the state pay rent,food and anything else.
Are there any schemes that allow the public to protect their house or education deposits?

Just live off investments, don't go to the dole centre, they are useless either way. What kind of place benefits from you NOT getting a job.....the dole centre. I agree 100% with what you said OP, I have a high level of investments and savings for my age and it would pain me to give it to the chavs to blow on cheap holidays to spain, faags and booze.

Well, if you've got £20k in the bank, why do you "need" help from the government? The welfare state is for people who need it. Not for people wanting to save for a house.

OP is saying, why are people getting things for free when he has saved up money while they have spent it all. Getting 20k in the bank is not easy, it requires a lot of saving discipline and/or investment knowledge.

The UK is a welfare state where the chavs rule and the rich pay, anyone with half an education should leave personally. I recommend somewhere like the United States, where it pays to work hard. Chavs are scum.

Because they need it and he doesn't? It's not unreasonable to expect him to live off the savings he has.

Then why should OP save, why shouldn't OP just become a chav?

The upper savings limit is actually pretty generous.

Eventually it becomes means tested. At that stage your savings would eb taken into account and beyond a certain amount you would become ineligible.
Why do you think you are being denied the opportunity to anything? Just dont apply for a benefit you do not need? How hard is that?

What is your definition of Chav? Anyone who accesses the welfare state?
Arent students some of the biggest beneficiaries?

So all chavs fit that definition and by default all people who access the welfare state are chavs?

I'm not privately educated, I am well educated and I work hard, I also save hard and invest well. I make my own millions, I'm not dependent on handouts. Chavs rule the UK because they are rewarded for doing nothing. My family has close to £1 million in investments and we have all held normal jobs. Have you ever heard of the american dream? Where if you work hard, you can achieve anything?

So you used the state education system and you use the NHS?
Chavs dont rule the UK as they have no power or influence.
You come across as a very hateful , ignorant person.
Are you American?

The welfare state should not be a way of life, it should be a safety net.
