like in the Daily Telegraph for example today

Those sorts of stories are bizarre. I think they are actually "aspirational" in a way. I think they want to provoke the "oh if only those were my problems" reaction, along with legitimising moaning by people who in their heart of hearts know they are incredibly lucky.
Though said people increasingly hide the fact of their good fortune from themselves by thinking their relative wealth is a sign of their own intrinsic value. I've stopped reading newspapers altogether. They make you want to vomit.
I shall go off and enjoy my nice fantasy now about being supreme ruler and sending moaning middle classes for a spell down the mines to get some perspective.
