Interesting article in the Guardian this morning. They've asked people on a range of household incomes if they feel rich or poor:
Do Britons feel rich or poor?
Some interesting results. The majority seem to feel that they're doing OK but life would be much easier if they had just a little bit more money. (Case in point the City lawyer who's on £100-140,000 per year but thinks you need £150,000 to be "really comfortable"). A lot of people are seeing childcare eat up a large percentage of their income. Some seem to me to have an astronomical income, but apparently it gets eaten up with fixed costs to match. Others are on what to me seems like a low income, but they are happy and think they have enough. The brief statement from the asylum seeker at the end is just awful...puts all the rest in perspective for me.
