True, but HyperD stood me the taxi back to Waterloo. I guess that's the billing for one trip to the coffee machine (I would say one dump, but I have shy bowels) that I've saved
Always the gent is HyperD

Yes, several friends are barely above minimum wage.
We all make choices in life, I decided to educate myself and over the years work my balls off to get the skills to be in the position I am now.
Some people are more intelligent and motivated than others and I'm not my brother's keeper. Do I sympathise? Yes. Do I provide support? Yes.
I pass on wealth, work, motivation when I can but I'm not in control of how other people decide what they want from life.

What about folks with families, big mortgage, trying to live a lifestyle they can't afford (I know plenty of people who have unrealistic expectations), it's not much to work with unless frugal makes you happy.
Why are folks with families entitled to a non-frugal life? If they want to live a luxury lifestyle they should both work and not have kids.
But anyway up here you don't need a big mortgage. £150k will get you a perfectly nice 3 bed detached house with a decent garden a handful of miles out of town.
I have a modest 3 bedroom house in a terrace and one car which I own outright. I also have a moderately expensive hobby and, mainly, a wife and 2 children.
I find that that seems to make a pretty effective job of burning through my income!
