It's so f*****. Because part of enjoying life is also travelling for us and we need to work to be able to do that. And then you worry you're going to get to this point even if you are debt free that you can't afford to pay the bills - the council tax, insurance, electricity, etc. And if you do pay for all of those things you can't afford to buy new clothes or books or go on a short trip or put petrol in the car or go out for a coffee or any of those small pleasures that we should have the right to enjoy. So the whole thing really freaks me out. My sister and brother-in-law are working full-time and they're happy enough, but their whole mission is to save for retirement. I watched Dad die And he had a really good life and had some good trips with Mum but then he died and his money just went to her and I was like well. What the f*** was that for? Jamie's got a month work but he's kind of being ripped off with what he's expected to do and the wages he's getting and he's off to work now to dance this dance of asking for appropriate recompense but being obliging so they give him work. It's all a load of b******* and I hate it.
