Original Note:
Presenting pensioners using only individuals who are over 75 is disingenuous and misleading. Of the 11 million pensioners in the UK, less than 5.4 million (approx 40%) are over 75. https://www.ageuk.org.uk/globalassets/age-uk/documents/reports-and-publications/later_life_uk_factsheet.pdf?dtrk=true#:~:text=The%20UK%20has%20an%20ageing%20population%20(ONS%2C%202018k).&text=There%20are%20nearly%2012%20million,ONS%2C%202018f%2C%202018e). The 60% of pensioners who are under 75 form the wealthiest demographic in the UK. https://www.bankrate.com/investing/average-net-worth-by-age/#:~:text=People%20ages%2065%20to%2074,have%20paid%20off%20their%20homes.
