I'm fed up of being told to live with less by a generation who've hoarded more than they need or could possibly spend.
I don't want a lot. I just want what was promised if I played by their rules. I do my 45 hours of work a week, and I want to be able to have a life worth living for the hours I'm not working. That includes buying a fucking coffee or having a meal out with my family once in a while without feeling guilty about the money I'm spending.
I've worked full time in good paying employment for 20 years now and I'm still nowhere near where my parent's generation was in terms of financial stability and quality of life. We've been screwed and I've really had enough. If 20 years of work has got me to £35,000 in assets, what's the next 40 years going to get me? Not enough to retire. Not enough to own a house. Not enough to enjoy life.
