"It all comes back to money. Some people start in a far better position than others - but that's another discussion so lets not go down that route" batfink
I too grew up in a council house, my parents also lived in it until the inevitable happened. In other words no silver spoon in my mouth.
"if my financial situation was more stable then i would however as an irresponsible youth i spent all my money on trotting the globe and an ill advised choice of wife, thankfully the stormy ocean of my finances may finally be calming down with just the decree absolute to go in a few weeks" julian2002
Yes been there done that and had far worse thrown my way, got up dusted myself down, went out there and made it happen!
"i'll probably have to pawn the lexus though " julian2002
There lies the truth of the matter. Until 2yrs ago I drove a battered up Escort van, could have strapped myself up with a Lexus to impess the world but I didn't, and you have the audacity to accuse me of willy waving. Get a life julian
