Yes, I got the currency a bit wrong. No gangsta from me. I essentially tried to eat a toffee that had been kept in the fridge out of the 30 plus degree weather and decided to chew it. It ripped out the gold cap thing immediately and I was lucky I didn't swallow it. It was so deformed by the toffee attack that they couldn't just refit it as has been done in the past. Actually, I have a discount so slightly less than I said. Oh, and also a fair sum of 600 pounds of food stuff from the UK a couple of weeks back and the purchase of GTA5, nice meal in a restaurant, and two albums yesterday. One of my more expensive months, but for me eating well is the main thing and as long as the basics are supplied, such as books on my Kindle then I don't ask for much more. You could be cheap and not buy the albums after downloading them, but I won't do that.

I think the reason many struggle is because they go to expensive pubs and think the latest expensive clothes are neccessary. I buy about 3 pairs of jeans a year and have a drink at home. Being married makes me live a very quiet life. The other reason is because people have children and then struggle to balance one income or an income and a half and having extra mouths to provide for. People have a choice to live how they do and all you need is a few conscious decisions to stay afloat.

People get greedy and that is why the West is bankrupt. Corporations are greedy and won't increase wages, but likewise too many are greedy too and live paycheck to paycheck spending all that they have wanting things now when they probably don't really need them.
