One thing is very clear, the kind of misguided we’re alright Jack mentality of those with wealth, stirs the ire and frustration of those with little to cling to except the faint hope that things might get better in about 5 years. My reality got worse this week, a car breakdown has derailed any...

Yeah... I’m really ‘fortunate’ that my mortgage is, when taken together with my rising heating, food, fuel, and every other cost under the sun, nearing critical affordability... I’m really ‘fortunate’ I (and many like me) can barely afford to makes ends meet. I’m really really fortunate that...

Indeed, much like my father, who unlike certain individuals within this thread is magnanimous and gracious enough to acknowledge that times have changed and your sons and daughters are in dire straits... Money for nothing indeed.

What is the point, i’ll never win, your’re up at my throat before I begin... Closing your ears to other men's views. Change for the good, would not bring bad news. Why change the rules, say those at the top To those at the bottom, caught looking up... Too many bodies, doubting our worth...

Well, well done you... I suppose you ate coal and sat on an iron spike too ?!? FFS just admit that millions of people are going to struggle massively on the back of the current inflation nightmare, interest rate hike and so on. The fact that you won't and can't tells me two things: You're...

And what of us who are working 50+ hours plus in shitty jobs with zero prospect of genuine progression ? This attitude around hard work and reward later in life lol... that's my point, I work incredibly hard now just to survive... saving money is not an option, we've cut back on everything and...

Well... he sold the business and married into a very wealthy family... so that, doubtless, has contributed... however I stand by my point: the vast majority of the moderately successful baby boomers are loaded and continue to be loaded and will become ever more loaded whilst the rest of us...

Someone in my distant family - a retired dentist - was making 20k a month last week from interest alone... after this he’ll be coining it in even more so. No mortgage ... the rich get richer whilst young working families like mine are absolutely f***ed. MAN, life is great. Enjoy your 3% you...
