    I wish there would be discussion about fx rates investments equities fixed income trading with eu or pensions or commercial property and residential property prices but no. This forum is about atw and Wandsworth protégés
    Oh, I wouldn't advise that either unless you have something specific to discuss.

    ..and you just haven't found the right thread if you want to talk about shares and pensions.

    Other than that I would advise going to MoneySavingExpert forums, but be aware - they are tougher on bulltulipters than we are.

    They are just old and bitter.

    Others are young and naive.

    Life is too short for conflict. Just chill..anything is better still than being a permie.

    Maybe, just maybe, the reason no one else agreed that they had the same problem is because no one has the same problem. £75k as a passive income is significant - not huge, but as a passive income it is quite large.

    What you clearly got initially was honest answers that, in the same situation, many on here would retire and enjoy the income. You may not have liked that answer, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a set of honest views.

    As for a workaround, there isn't one ... at least, without going all tax evasion (illegal) there aren't any obvious solutions. Again, you didn't like this honest answer and started going all hissy ... this is when the thread went downhill. Maybe had you accepted the comments initially as honest then you wouldn't have had the following micky taking.

    If you're seriously in this situation and you really have this much income then as you're not getting the answer you want on here why not pay to get tax advice? This would be the professional thing to do - then come back on here and share your newly learned wisdom.

    As for the views - you'll find it's because it was entertaining and not because others found it interesting.
