Us elderly people remember when it was 10% and a great thing too; we were taught when younger to SAVE money for our old age. I'd managed to squirrel away about a million quid to cover my old age - my pension - brining about £100K a year, about my normal, everyday living expenses with a great deal there for health, hospitals etc.
ALL that went in Legal Fees in 2001 on defending myself against crimes that had never happened.
My earnings level then dropped dramatically. I was about to earn 5 million a year as Global Chairman of EMI.
In my middle 50s. Well set up for my old age (now).
Then interest rates dropped anyway. Interest these days would not (and do not) even cover the costs of petrol in company cars.
No longer any media income (I was earning about £2000 a month from newspapers).
No more hits.
No more TV shows.
And my tiny regular earnings from past songs etc got smaller and smaller as those who loved them died of old age.
You still seem to be travelling around the world staying in 5 star hotels and driving a rolls royce around and a modest house in London. My advice would be to sell your house and move out of London. Probably to the west country or wales. You get much better value for money, the people are friendlier and the views are stunning |

Bet release the all the UK Records back catalogue. Will you get a cut if Cherry Red release the Genesis album Genesis to Revelation.
I am checking their website every day for updates for it.
Don't you own the ABBA publishing rights still ? |
