I hate all of this.
I'd be financially well off; low housing costs, good salary; except that I have dependents in their 20s. Most of them are working, some working two jobs. Without providing them with subsidised housing, or cash, they'd be sinking.
The energy costs are simply terrifying. Unless there is a huge change, winter 2022 will see substantial numbers of people dying of hypothermia in the UK.
So in the period of my life when I should be looking to pay off mortgages, accumulate a nest egg, I need to look to maintaining a high income.
It's so depressing for the young people. Twenty times harder than when I was their age, utterly dispiriting.
Getting to the point where I resent the amount of tax I pay, because I'm not seeing any benefits for me or mine.
