This Witch doesn't burn

All UK-born citizens should be given £10,000 as a “universal minimum inheritance” when they turn 25 to help address growing wealth inequality, a thinktank has proposed. Tax reforms and a selloff of assets including the government’s stake in Royal Bank of Scotland could help create a citizens’ wealth fund worth £186bn by 2029/30, the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) said. Such a fund would give everyone a stake in the economy and help young people invest in their futures, for example through buying a property, investing in education or starting a business, according to a report for the IPPR Commission on Economic Justice. The fund could be large enough to pay all 25-year-olds a one-off capital dividend of £10,000 from 2030. https://www.theguardian.com/politics...says-thinktank Edit to add link to the IPPR policy paper: https://www.ippr.org/files/2018-04/c...march-2018.pdf Is this the worst idea ever? and 2030 so no one on here will get it...

I don't think it's necessarily a terrible idea, though I think 25 is a little young, and 30 would probably be better. Though tbh a guaranteed £10k specifically towards a house deposit or to pay off a chunk of education debt would probably be better, rather than cold hard cash.
My main concern I guess, would be people simply running up a "risk free" £10k of debt knowing that they'll be getting a lump sum to pay it off. |

It's a shocking idea and whoever thought of it should be sectioned (that's committed for the Americans)

Silly idea.
Shouldn't depend on their age, a thirty year old deserves the same help. Plus it should be means tested, giving all the little Lord Flaunteroys a handout is pathetic, the same as taxing working pensioners more, if pensioner had enough to live on then more wouldn't work in the first place.

By 2030 £10K will not pay the deposit on a Dog Kennel. These 'Think Tanks' need to think harder and longer or stop thinking altogether.
