  1. Good for you. It should also impress on you the importance of a. Living within your means b. Not having babies because it's 'romantic' c. Saving what you can when you can d. Making sensible choices about where you live and what jobs you can do I have a friend who is insanely narcissistic. She gave up an ok job in TV to go travelling in Africa to 'find herself', got back, no work in TV, got a job as a barmaid and lives with her mum rent free. Saved up some money and decided instead of getting her own place she wanted to go travelling again to find herself some more. Is now pushing 50 and still acts like a student. To the point she still chases 25 yo surfer dudes and wonders why she can't find a decent guy. She fell badly in love with a guy half her age who slept with her a couple of times and decided she was nuts but she obsesses over him. It's what I would call perpetual infantilism. Don't be like her.

  3. People today fall in love, don't get married and just pop out kids then the relationship fails and the taxpayer is expected to pay.. It's not their fault of course - it's their human right. 🙄

  4. Housing is the main problem. Secondly 500k net immigration EVERY YEAR depressing wages and putting further pressure on housing and services.

  5.  @majdavojnikovic  Then she chose her partner badly. People rush into marriage and kids then don't put the effort into making it work.

  6.  @Bangandthedirtisgone  She chose to have children in an unstable situation and to continue living in London where no-one I know couid afford to live. At some point people need to take at least some responsibility for their own choices!!!

  7. Fair play. But at least you're sensible enough not to throw a baby into that mix.

  8. Yeah I object to terms like absolute poverty being applied in the UK where it does not exist. Absolute poverty is meaningless when reports on absolute poverty also include details of an epidemic of childhood obesity.

  9. Then don't be a single mother in London and expect taxpayers to fork out for you.
