  • As a middle class person I can’t afford a mortgage. Private sector rent is also high. I earn too much to qualify for social housing. My lower earning friends are therefore better off than me. We have the same lifestyle because they get a ton of rebates and they live in a cheaper and better place. I can save more, but they don’t care because the welfare state will provide them so no need for savings. They don’t see the point in earning more. Why do I bust my ass and take on more responsibility to earn more? Literally no point except misplaced pride, I was taught to ‘work hard’. The joke is on me. Better to do the opposite.
