i understand that..but an appreciating asset isn't what we are talking about at all is it?..we are talking about disposable income...ie..you earn money each year..and at the end you can actually spend the money you didn't need to live on

to most people..that is how they measure if they are better off..not letting some bod do some calculations that mean nothing re day to day money in money out

this is half the problem really...we have a simple money out money in measure of whether we are actually better off..but then we have have an overcomplicated method of calculating a figure that has no meaning in real life to the masses

my numbers will make sense to more people than anything you or Clive spout...i'm surprised you actually like an overcomplicated calculation that actually refers to nothing recognised in real life. If i did that re racing you's soon be picking holes in it..you would be saying....oh thats way overcomplicating something.

Maybe you and Clive are right..we are all rolling in money and can't see it...i'm not seeing that tbh with what people say in the media..on the net etc....and with simple telling figures

I'll have to definately give up then won't I?.......it looks like there is only me on here that thinks we are worse off now than in 1971..regarding disposable...real..not credit card/loan ..income.

i'll stick to racing...and again..let you guys celebrate our wealth
