Everybody earns AT LEAST £100K before bonuses even if they didn't inherit at least 3 houses or have a wealthy spouse/set of parents/inlaws etc to bail them out every five minutes.
Also, these amazing £100K jobs are there for the plucking even if you possess no qualifications, are unable to spell (though to be fair the lack of an edit option might be at least a partial reason there), left school at the age of 15, and live in an employment blackspot.
Oh, and anyone who doesn't earn that amount of money or has the temerity to be unemployed and need a bit of help is obviously just stupid/unambitious and should just move to where the jobs are or set themselves up as a £100K a year cleaner or healthcare assistant...
This pisses me off too.
Also, what bugs me, is the amount of posters on here who claim they and everyone in their social circle started having babies in their mid 40s, and the younger you are when you have them, the lower down the classes you are.
The line 'I am 44 and fitter and healthier than women I know 15 years younger than me' is always trotted out as a reason to have babies between 44 and 50. With no thought to the risks involved, and the fact the child will still be at primary school when she is in her mid 50s, and still a teen when she is in her 60s. In her mid 40s, a woman is CLUELESS about how knackered and weary she will feel in her mid 50s, and how the menopause will probably affect her. It's incredibly selfish having a baby past 44/45, as she has no thought whatsover for the child.
Also makes me laugh when people get super offended when you suggest someone of 70 is 'elderly.' They say 'what? 70 is YOUNG! I have an aunt who is 70, and she runs 3 marathons a week, dates men half her age, and runs 3 businesses single-handedly.
Oh and the idea that a woman can just leave her husband at 58, and retrain for a new career, and get a new bunch of friends, and a fabulous new career. Because DOZENS of women THEY know have done this. Millions of women of nearly 60 start a new life every year, after leaving their husband, and go on to live illustrious lives full of wonder, dreams come true, hot young men lusting after her, and a £125K salary from the new job she trained for.
