All I am seeing in this thread is a lot of poor person jealousy. Like half the posts are so cringe! You’d flip your lid if someone of a class was running you and your poor existence down but it’s ok for you to run them down. You obviously were not raised any better. Just get over it, who cares as to whom is rich or poor.
I was raised in a very deprived area of Leeds, toasting bread on a gas bar fire for days at a time as we had no electric…
I now have 3 cars, a farm yard (no farming though), a few horses for the wife. The children go to a fantastic public primary school but will be going to a private secondary school to have a more focused education. Plus my daughter can take her horse to school… And all I had to do to achieve this is work 75+hrs a week. Yes I’ve literally burnt my arse off, but I can now chill a bit enjoy life and time with my family…
So hard work and determination got me here, but from the perspective of most, if we were to meet today would be “toff”, “over privileged”, rathe than, “shit, the blokes worked hard for him and his family”… the lower classes have always been the most judgmental.
Try not being jealous and work harder… and I know this isn’t and can’t be the case for some but for the other 90% of you it’s no excuse.
