Very Interesting to say the least,
I hope the Qualified people will post replys,
How long is a piece of string these days? I'd say it's both subjective and relative. If one is healthy, can pay their bills and eat well then they're well off. If one has a low/no-stress job and a family network then all the better.In other words what's considered fairly wealthy anymore?
Retired, is that what you mean?Financially rich to me is not having to work or be dependent on the state or an employer for money.
It's when you are financially free to live a comfortable life without debt.

me flat broke most of the time ,my worth???
Richest demographic in Ireland at low risk of poverty, with the highest discretionary income. There are some poor pensioners but there are plenty more poor people within nearly every other group in Irish society.Lots of people will reach retirement age dependent on the state to survive.
Lots of people with a private pension will still live week to week dreading an unforseen bill come through the door.
It would have to be a very comfortable retirement.
Priceless?E.g. Nurses and others in the caring occupations are priceless but the state can only afford to pay them so much.
Well It all depends on how you value your contributions and the returns you expect/insist on getting in return for that contribution,Retired, is that what you mean?
Don't have a hang up about the Nurses Pension There are very good tax breaks for private sector workers ,Priceless?
€58,000 on average, not including the value of their pension.

As I said heat and half enough to eat and happy goes a long long way, You could be rich and looking over your shoulder at the person next to you and make yourself poor and sad,Richest demographic in Ireland at low risk of poverty, with the highest discretionary income.

If you are rich the chances are you are a pensioner.
