And I am the one on here at risk with the pound and I am not worried about that either.
Brexit will happen, but negotiations have been badly affected by the stupid floosy who lives off her clients money. So, the harder Brexit, the better.
You really are showing how young you are. You will feel MUCH different if you ever get some money behind you.

And now the economy is going to be in the doldrums for an unknown number of years, and maybe will never do as well as it would have in the EU. I'm doing okay, but not all my friends are. It would have been nice to experience some times of high growth and easy home buying. Even if things eventually improve, we won't get these years back.

Nov 05th, 2016 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I came from a very poor family in North Staffordshire. My father was a labourer and my mother operated a printing press in the evenings so she could look after me in the day until I went to school and she did more hours: she worked full time after that until she was 60.
I soon realised that their life was not what I wanted and worked hard to pass the eleven plus exam and went to a Technical High School and worked hard at that. Eventually I became a professional engineer and I worked harder (and smarter) at that.
Eventually I became a Technical Director at a GEC company and then started my own businesses.
Do you notice the thread running here? Yes, you have to WORK at life, nobody will give you a thing unless you earn it, though LUCK, such as being in the right place at the right time helps.
I am pleased you are doing well, perhaps your friends did not work as hard as you or were as lucky in life as you.
I never stop telling my few students who seek my help with their university problems about my past, they, like many on here think I had it easy.
At the age of 70 I am studying astro-physics a by distance learning form MIT as well as a new undertaking in Uruguay which will hopefully come to fruition in Feb 2017, fingers crossed.
Never give up on working harder and smarter (VERY important) than everybody else. It worked for me, it should work for you.

It's bad for the whole country if people can't afford to buy houses or pay into pensions, or if they keep delaying having children because they want a more stable lifestyle first.
Those who are talented and work harder can get ahead, but not everyone can come first by definition. What is supposed to happen to the rest?
Even if I do 'get some money behind me', I will still have friends and family who don't, so why would I think any differently to now?
The world does not owe anybody a living even though the lazy, work-shy ones think it does both here and in the UK.
Nov 06th, 2016 - 06:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have always helped those who want to do better by encouraging them to try new experiences and learn new skills: I still do that in Uruguay whenever I can.
As for those who take money for no work then stuff them. They are parasites and breeding machines to get even more money for nothing.
Genuine claimants, YES, work-shy NO.
It really is as simple as that, no need for heart searching and / or handwringing.
As you earn more and see the need to provide for your wife / partner and your retirement you will soon realise that the old saying 'charity begins at home' has a lot of truth in it. Yes, you will support your extended family but they need to pay you back once they get on their feet.
If you don't adopt this sort of outlook your retirement will be dire. Poverty in retirement is a heartrending thing and best avoided.
We lost half our retirement pot due to The Cunt Brown © Jeremy Clarkson 2010 and disastrous handling of the economy in 2008 even though the Labour idiots were lauding him as The Saviour of the World'.
Never underestimate the green eyed “I want it all brigade”, I remember ElaineB 'laughing and joking' about our loss as if it served us right. That was the Rubicon as far as she was concerned.
Fortunately we discovered Uruguay and our potential problems with the wife's health and possible financial threats were history. Not everyone is as fortunate as us. Luck does take a part, but never forget to try!
