I live in a beautiful s four-bed house with two-thirds of an acre of land. It is really private — we have about a hundred pine trees — out in the green belt, just outside of Birmingham. Do you save in a pension or invest in the stock market? I do neither. I did save into a pension once, and got ripped off. It is amazing how many men in suits have ripped us off over the years.
We were raking in money left, right and centre at one point and a whole army of people came out of the woodwork to tell us what to do with it. There is nothing left of my pension now. As for the stock market, I think it is pretty immoral. It is not my kind of thing. I do not even really approve of people owning more than one property.

I would invest the extra tax raised in the NHS and initiatives that tackle homelessness. We desperately need to redistribute wealth in this country. I do not see any reason why we should have a lower rate of income tax than under Thatcher. What we need is to invest in society again, which we have not been doing since the crash. I absolutely think we need to do something radical.
I think there has been a transfer of wealth from the poorest to the richest in society, who have doubled their wealth since the crash. I think that is completely unfair and it needs to be rebalanced.
If you take 70 per cent off a rich man, he is still rich. No, I am not a believer in charities. They have become businesses and the chief executives make eye-watering amounts.
What is your number one financial priority? I have had years of great success and have accumulated all the things I need to live comfortably. Some links in this article may be affiliate links.
