Anyone complaining of her riches stop to think that there's plenty below us on the financial ladder looking up at us thinking exactly the same thing?

 

Always figure there's someone, in fact plenty, that are worse off than me so I should be bloody thankful for what I have.

really good point, i often think people in the third world would look at my lifestyle and think wow , probably like winning the lottery to them( and no iam not loaded:001_tongue:) and yet its so easy to think the classic " i should be getting paid more"

Why don't we look at other hard jobs? Bin man, Royal Marine, social worker, fireman, sewage worker. Is it typical for any of those professionals to make a billion over a Lifetime?

 

 

With all due respect, I think you are talking utter sh*te matelot. (Not the first time I've said that in my life😳). Very few people who make serious money legitimately do so without hard work. You can bust a gut all day for £80, or you can use your brain and get into the serious wonga. I'm pretty sure JKR is paying some serious taxes and probably giving a fair bit to charity.

 

All this socialist crap does my head in, 'share the wealth'... Somebody has to earn it first! It's her house, do with it as she wishes!!

I've been fortunate enough to travel quite a bit with work and the quote above is so true, the deprivation in some countries is heartbreaking.

 

You may read hysteria in some media about UK poverty and foodbanks. There is no true poverty in the UK

If everyone was paid the same what incentive would there be for those of us who like to push ourselves? May as well slow down the pace to that of the slowest and laziest worker on the team if we are all getting paid the same.
