KIPPERS

In October last year we had SLOPS (Singles Living Off Parents), coined by the Irish Food Board. In a similar vein, the British building society Prudential tells us that KIPPERS are 'Kids in Parents' Pockets Eroding Retirement Savings.' Irish Times, 13 Jan 2004.

Kippers for breakfast, anyone?

Yes, but us codgers fight back by going on skiing trips. No skis required, just Spending the Kids Inheritance.
