£500 per month for 20 years produces £120k plus investment growth,so I assume that the writer
meant £50 p.m.
Errors like this are all too prevalent in the print media. Why don't journalists check their figures?.
( O.K. I admit it, I have exchanged my business suits for anoraks which I wear with pride.)

Agree RB
Average standard of mathematical education (or arithmetic education more precisely) in the UK (and the US as well) is unbelievably lousy, even among the graduate level, though I must admit that there are some exceptionally gifted methmatical minds at the same time. This sort of error clearly illustrates that the writer is not in command of what he is up to at all. Shame on Phillip Inman boy!

RB and JU.....A comment in memory of the mayhem which resulted a while ago when an International Living writer, Steenie Harvey, announced that you could purchase a home in Ireland at an exchange rate of sixty-some dollar cents to the euro. We will never know what she was smoking that day. Worst of all, it took months for them to delete this gibberish from their website even when many had pointed out the faux pas.
