Yes of course I have a house, I had to get on the market because there were no council houses. When I bought the house I'm in now I chose to keep my previous house on and to let it grow in value so I have two houses but that isn't wealth, it's investment or even speculation.
I probably could get to the match, pint and a kebab for £50 however I wouldn't get much more than that. Back in 1979 £50 was a dream amount of money to actually have at easy disposal, now it's almost a throw away amount. If I go out to the football (home game) for a day with my mates I'd need £200 and I wouldn't be getting a kebab.
