And those of us who saved and lost it in the divorce?

Should have got a better lawyer. Or hidden money offshore. But even if you lost 50% very recently, or 100% a year or 2 back, a decent day-rate would leave you a fair savings pot if you scaled back your lifestyle when realising you'd become poor, IF you weren't benched AND big child support wasn't involved?

There are some things in life one cannot control. Sexuality for one. WHO your wife does for another......

I was going to say ...... I have saved up a big nest egg. It's just not in my bank account.

I'm not whingeing about it. I just don't want to be told it was my fault for being profligate.

Oh stop whinging... contractors on £300+ are probably in the top 1-2% of the nation, income-wise. If you haven't saved up a big nest-egg that's you fault for living too extravagently.

I'm digging over the vegetable plot so the wife and kids can eat when I'm away.

Don't worry! They don't really lock you up for posting like a tart on an internet forum.

How much food have you got left in your house? Pound going down the pan so no chance of buying much more. Maybe end of Feb?

Time to start digging that nuclear bunker in your back garden and stocking up supplies I think.
