poor people will always be poor and working class imo are the new poor, these people don't goto m&s :-),
even middle class in the main are skint they buy liability's upgrading house moves and cars every few years, the pretend rich are skint ! because they don't own anything and will have to work till 70 years old to keep that fake life going.
you have to plan to be wealthy and most people with a ok wage say £40k to £100k are ******s now sorry !!! , the "pretend rich chavs" in news builds with 2 bmw's on pcp's and don't do the most important thing in life, invest 20% of their wages before you pay bills. they are in debt all their lives so they can pretend to look rich.
the top 3% of wealth are very few people esp if you take out the top 0.5% ultra elite rich of 400k people . that leaves just 1.6 million normal people who have invested for wealth or got hand me downs.
you need £250,000–£900,000 in savings/investments ex a house. going from the bottom 3% to the top 2% excluding that 0.5 super elite rich, it's not that much money really to be in the that club from 0.5% to 1% is about - £900k–£1.2m in money.
be one of those 1.6 million people from 68 million uk people and have real wealth buy saying, "do i need this" and invest 20% of your income without fail.
or be one of those 335k people 0.5 to 1% people it's do able if you are not a wannabe fake show off.
about 335,000 people in the uk are in the 0.5%–1% financial‑wealth bracket.
just make it happen from today !
