Money doesn't make you happy, you only have to look at the constant moaning here to realise that.

Nah you've got it wrong Dim. This isn't about rolling over and letting the Gov't shaft us for tax, it's about not letting the general doom-mongering get yer down

You are my hero: never seen McCartney's Too Many People even mentioned before outside elderly music mags! Ram is his best effort. 100 hero points are awarded and can be traded-in at Pret a Manger for a cup of coffee.

I know, the majority of us are probably in a better position than 95% of the UK workforce and still moan lol

And let's face it, most of the UK population will be worse off, but only in terms of disposable income. Despite the doom-mongering, I'm sure people will be used to keeping their mobile phone for 2 years instead of 6 months, and not buying the latest gizmo with an i in front of it every 6 months.

I've been rich, I've been poor. Rich is better.

Very true, but somewhere in between with a happy relationship, a comfortable home and time to enjoy some hobbies is pretty damn good too.

But are you happy?

Seriously, I've been happier when earning a lower income, infact I was happiest when a pauper student. QOL is just as important as how much cash you can scrape together. The OP brings up a good point, it's easy to lose perspective and get depressed about things that don't really matter that much. Reading too much sensationalist journalism makes you unhappy. No wonder the cu*t of celebrity is so popular in this country... it makes you fink you don't know what to fink.
