It’s not only this side of the pond that some old folk are unable to manage on their pensions in these troubled economic times.
Take Michael Jackson’s father, for instance.
It has been disclosed that he is unable to manage on his State social security payments of $1,700 a month. This is a tad over £1,000 a month. What would our pensioners give to receive that?
But this is not enough to keep Mr Jackson going, for in documents submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court, he says he needs an additional £20,000 a month to live on. Yes folks, that’s another £12,000 a month! Which is more than most of our pensioners get in a year.
It is said that Michael Jackson used to make payments to his father via his mother but, despite this, Mr Jackson senior was not mentioned in Michael’s will and Mr Jackson senior now seeks an income from Michael’s estate.
A lawyer for the administrators of the pop star's estate, said it was, ‘quite surprising to learn of the request’.
You can understand why!
