Shall we just go one step further and off to the farm yard in the sky for everyone once they reach 70? Would release some much needed housing stock and help the economy no end
Think there is a film like this ? Logan’s Run?

If I was told I could have a house, and a 150 acre holding from the age of 20 in exchange, I'd take that deal.

Let's be honest... Only old people want to live forever.

Personally if you have more than a million in assets and savings then life has not exactly been cruel to you.... The idea of a reset is to give everyone a chance to balance out, not to create a situation where those already on top gain pocket change.

Ultimately I suspect you'd be talking 100-300k a head..... Not enough to change a millionaires life, but enough to give some diligent people a good headstart.

As for the age cap.... If your 70 and still living in a hovel then wtf have you been doing? Literally had the best time to make bank and you are still potless?

it also means you have worked very hard and been thrifty (certain sectors excluded - banker/brokers/etc.)
my retirement pot/funds didn't come on a silver plate -- have gone without on many occasions 'cos I couldn't afford it/wouldn't get into debt to have it, or foregone holidays/trips/whatever, 'cos I was too busy, making the pot.
WTF should i be categorised with the idle ws who've done sod all, all their lives to ensure a better retirement ??
I'll bet there're a few on here who can relate to this

and this is why we're in such a bloody mess ... scum like these who have a total disregard for any authority of any sort .... drop 'em where they stand as they exit

and for those not able to see it -
two little scumbags loading a rucksack in a supermarket with booze and just walking out, with a security guy behind them, helpless to do anything about it
they and all like them need the kicking of their lives, then permanently hobbling to make them recognisable to all and sundry

They tried that with covid

And a few years ago 70 was life expectancy
But drug companies need to make lots of money so they insist on keeping people alive ,who shouldn't ,
