Crude subject i know, but are you comfortable?

I got in early with crypto, still have decent money invested, but cashed out during the boom. Brought my mum a house. And been investing in franchises ever since. It's addictive, i still work, and pay a mortgage, stay up my mums place while taking rent etc

I own a lake too, Grandad left it to me

[Redway]

No. I just carry around Waitrose bags so-that it looks like I am. I rarely have the money to shop there, but even besides that, I struggle. I get by, and I help people out when I can, but I struggle at the moment.

[Barry.]

Nah not really.

I'm in a working class family.

But thankfully we're not as financially poor as a lot of other working class families.

Like we get by.

That's good to hear Zizu.

I still can't believe that in 2025, our dear leaders still don't do anywhere near enough to make sure that everyone has a roof over their head.

Along with free healthcare, it is something that I believe that everyone is entitled to have, yet not everyone does.

Probably the most upsetting thing I see nowhere is all the homeless guys ..

Everyone keeps saying that they have a BMW parked nearby but the ones near us are just terribly dishevelled with half the teeth missing and full of cuts or bruises ( some people think it’s fun to attack them )

Far from it.

[Jessica.]

No, we're skint, having a kid is more expensive than we ever could have imagined.

[Beso]

I have a nest egg that can be used whenever I need to, generally speaking though, I carry cash, and just use my wages for whatever I need. Which usually isn't much.

[Vicky.]

Nope, skint and no savings

The definition of well off is dictated by age and by lifestyle, and it can therefore be transitory too. One week a super yacht could seem like a necessity and the next week a bag of lentils will do just fine

Why do I feel BOTs has had both of these times

[Cherie]

So your Granddad left you some land with a lake that is super cool Swan

What are you going to do with it?

I know people complain alot about how much easier older generations had but the upside to that is younger people inherit so much more than back in the day

I get that there are scammers out there that do pretend to be homeless.

But I'm with you personally, I feel sorry for the genuinely homeless people (probably because of my own personal experiences where we were close ourselves at one point,) but people thinking it's great to attack homeless people are probably the ones that deserve to experience homelessness the most, and see how they like it.

I wouldn’t believe much of anything he is saying at the moment cherie

This saying is one that has stayed with me
Knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing

Your health and family is worth more than the entire wealth of the world
Cancer doesn’t care if you are a multimillionaire or a tramp

…if I bought that super yacht then a bag of lentils every week for the rest of my life would probably have to be just fine…

We can live like millionaires for the rest of my life … as long as I die tomorrow

Look at all the millionaire sports/ movie / rock stars who suffer from depression ( or far worse)

No I’m far from it tbh but I do what I can to budget/ save my money where it doesn’t need to be wasted. I’m not a tight arse by any means, I will treat myself when I feel like it and buy gifts for friends/ family for occasions (even if some may be a tad expensive but I know the person receiving will appreciate it).

I have savings and a decent car (both of which I’ve worked my arse off to achieve). Clothes/ shoes wise, Yh I have mainly branded stuff but it’s good quality so I look after it and make sure it lasts me as long as it can. I can’t afford to be splashing out £160 on trainers every few months, I at least try to make them last for a few years so I keep them clean and keep them in the boxes to stay fresh.
