About 14 year ago round my old way, which by the way isnt exactly beverly hills, there was a study that came up with you need to earn £27 an hour just to exist............thats 14 year ago !

So that £1250 a week back then and its way more expensive now.............I honestly dont think a bloke on 75 or 100k is doing well for himself, i think he is just ok and by no mean home and dry

Thats what makes it such a crime whats being done to people because thats a lot of money they are producing and they should be able to stick a nice chunk away all the time and have a wad of cash behind them, but they genuinely cant

I totally agree wilf, we have been contemplating fecking off ourselves to somewhere that rewards workers not tax them til death,

What will that work out after the tax man has got his claws into it mate?......£50 grand ?

Depends where you live i suppose but a grand a week isnt exactly movie star money these days......round my old way if you rent a 3 bed that is half your wages gone a month just  on rent.......then 700 quid on council tax and utilities, add on food and running a car etc.....dont leave fortunes at the end of the week

You got the wrong irish, best leave politics alone too. So in a 20 year career of grafting hes earned close to 2 million and is stuck in a small terraced house? Hes managing his money wrong or needs to move house to somewhere better, 

I know a millionaire chap called Bruce who lives on a narrow boat builders  yard at side of river. He dresses like a scruffy c**t stinks to f**k. You wouldn't think he was a millionaire. I was shocked to f**k. Builds narrow boats from ground up from plates of steel until there ready for someone to move in. But if you seen him you wouldn't think he's a millionaire. Lol.

Watched this sunderland lads YT vid last night,he has left the UK and moved to Norway where his life seems to have improved,but is it possible to work 22 years solid and have nowt?I think its down to the individual.He has a massive downer on the UK and comes across as a woe-is-me type.

 

Sounds like he's embraced Scandi-noir   to the full .....

Twenty two years of work ,paying the bills and raising a family and "nothing to show for it " 

   Doesn't raising a family count as something to show for it!

Moaning about broken boilers and cars...... like  even the appliances were out to get him in the UK.  

Someone reckoned the older generation had it better .

Growing up , if we wanted to watch TV we went up the road to a neighbour. I think there were only two or three  cars in the street  and they belonged to other people. 

No one had central heating,we all woke to ice on the inside of  windows in winter.  When the coal bucket was empty we went to bed.

Monday to Friday ,Dad trained it up to London , leaving at 6.30 and  getting home at  7.30 ,often  later. He had a good job but still had to spend his Saturdays laying concrete shed bases to pay the mortgage.

True ,old houses could be had for under  £500 even in the South but mortgages in the 50s were difficult to get on anything but new builds . So my parent's £2000 brand new  bungalow might seem like a bargain but  was a massive commitment that required  frugality that would be rare today  .

They didn't have the option of going without luxuries to pay the bills or  making sacrifices ; they had f'all to sacrifice!

Yeh ,l know l were lucky  ; some of you chaps had to live in a shoe box at the end of the garden.  Well count yourselves lucky to even have a garden!

Bloke in the video wants a kick up the whotsitt.

You can't afford a decent pair of specs Arry lol. I said he couldn't afford a 250k house, not that he lives in one, he lives in a mid-terrace that's worth about half that.

I didn't say he lives I a £250k house I said he can afford one.

Cheers Arry

My younger brother  weekend millionaire danny.  Grafts all week then out in pub Friday to Sunday. Gets that f****d he doesn't know what he's done. Ended up with a broken leg by f***ing about. Had to have it screwed with cage on then pot on. That's his football career f****d. Will never be the same.  But your right about the younger generation shit up the nose week in week out. Tapping money through week. That's him just having cast off last week. Look at f***ing scare. Broke his ankle an one of the main bones at bottom of leg. He said the name but can't remember it. 

[Daniel cain 45,991]

If your earning 75k plus a year,and don't have a pot to piss in...then you need to take a look around you,f**k off any dead wood( Mrs spending like it's water etc) and pull your f***ing finger out like....

I know plenty of lads earning that and more...the one thing they all got in common is they got to have the latest shit,cars, clothes,phones,Mrs thinks she's a footballers wife lol.....and they all like a sniff, weekends and school nights....all self inflicted

That fucks me off that partying on a school night. Then can't be arsed taking their kids to school next day specially Monday mornings. Countries f****d up. A know one family like that. The kids don't even call them mum an dad the older ones. They call them by their names. Eldest lad who talks to my son. " Said when has the c**t ever been a dad to me.  It's sad to see Danny. They think buying kids things is being a father or mother. Kids want your time not money or even worse none of that. I admit my old man was old school Friday to Monday morning in pub playing rugby young didn't give a f**k. An i always said I'd never be like he was. My brothers just turned out the same way selfish c**t.

He's been miserable for good few weeks now. When a mentioned football too him he started crying. Doctor told him be a good few years before you'd be able to do owt like that. Just think of walking right for now. You okay now though. My grandfather broke his femur many many years back said he had to have cast upto his knackers lol. Said it was a b*****d when you got an itch.
